Born in Brasov, I spent my childhood in a big house where I lived with the whole family on my father's side: parents, grandparents, aunt with cousin, uncle with cousins, dogs, cats and chickens. Recently I have come to the conclusion that my grandfather influenced me the most in my life. He was a sports teacher and he taught me a lot of things : how to ride a bike, play tennis, billiards, chess and other board games ( using beans as game pieces ) and who used to tell us a lot of fantasy stories. He loved to paint and I`m sure I also got this from him!
I have a travel and tourism degree ( and wanderlust in my blood ), I love chess, astrology, tennis, biking, reading, painting, and I always had art-related hobbies : I love photography and people say I have a good eye for it, I always painted my clothes, bags, shoes, even skis, I collect coins, I have hairstyling skills and I’m generally good with handmade things.
In 2018 I started a small business by hand-painting vintage bags when: BANG!!! I discovered myself, it was like my alter ego suddenly came out; I could not think of anything else but painting, I wanted to know everything about it, I could not stop imagining the process and the way it made me feel, I was like hypnotised and I knew I wanted to do this for the rest of my life! I started painting a lot in a variety of mediums, learning and reading a lot about it and after a while I started taking courses at Magda Vacariu Art School here in Brasov.
When I paint I am complete and I have that authentic feeling of inner peace!
