artist statement
i decided to make art when i discovered that people around me do not notice many beautiful, interesting and expressive things that make our environment. and most of all when i noticed that if i make them aware they do enjoy it. some good and obedient, bewitched almost, others stubborn but never indifferent.
i am interested in people, in how they are and why they are.
my forms? i am not the one to decide that. they simply exist. it is almost as if I am carrying a back pack that gets filled from time to time, and at the right moment, i reach inside, i take out what i find and i marvel ...
more specifically, i start wit a piece of iron (the substance with which i am the most intimately connected), a welding torch, a hammer, a grinder, sometimes a shear, and at the end, as I said .....i marvel. intriguingly, my efforts do not lead me to an answer as i sometimes wish, but to a new question.
my iron “beings” - although quite large in scale - conform to almost any given space. some are hanging, others stuck, some free standing, other balance each other, some sensible alone, other find harmony in group, but all equally beautiful.
to become coherent i have studied sculpture at the academy of art in bucharest.
all my work is now found in private collections or public spaces (from tuborg romania to the national museum of contemporary art - mnac)

Putini sculptori au sansa sa li se comande o expozitie. Libertate totala. Mie mi s-a intamplat. Cu Tuborg. Si am produs-o in 2003, pe terasa Teatrului National Bucuresti- Laptaria lui Enache. Toate sculpturile sunt de dimensiuni mari, intre 3 si 6 metri.Mama cum a fost....
