Statement
I create to understand the patterns of existence—its real and surreal layers, its ancestral echoes. My work explores matrilineality, memory, and myth through abstract symbolism and mixed media. Raised in Romania and now based in Tennessee, I draw from my maternal lineage and cultural heritage, using oil, acrylic, metallic foil, and iridescent elements to build visual reliquaries of memory. Arches, halos, and celestial motifs recur as portals between worlds, reflecting my belief that art is both sanctuary and search. Nothing is random. Everything is passion.
