'I am a visual artist and freelance photographer constantly looking for new ways to nurture self-expression. In 2016 I graduated from The Bucharest National University of Arts, Photography and Video Department and in 2018 I successfully completed an MA degree in Ethnology, Cultural Anthropology and Folklore at The University of Bucharest.

My artistic roots can be found in my childhood and adolescence when I engaged with painting, music and writing. At the age of 13 I cam across the works of Magnum Photographers which later became a representative moment in my evolution as a visual artist.

As a photographer I tend to pursue a fine art approach to each genre I focus on at a specific time. I situate my work somewhere near the thin line between reality and fiction, easily floating from one side to the another. In the last couple of years I have drawn inspiration from cultural anthropology, exploring themes such as family, identity, dynamics of tradition or body.'
