about me

My artistic practice grows out of a hybrid identity shaped by diverse cultural contexts, early bereavements, and the challenge of navigating new countries and languages alone. These experiences continue to inform my work, which engages with themes of identity, memory, and the representation of the contemporary human condition.
I was born in Chișinău, Moldova, when it was still part of the Soviet Union. As a teenager I moved to Oradea, Romania, where I completed both secondary school and university. I hold a degree in Fine Arts, from the Faculty of Visual Arts at Cluj-Napoca University (Oradea campus) and more recently a degree in Art History from the UNED, Spain (National Distance Education University). Since 2009 I have lived and worked in Galicia
Since 2016,  I have developed a body of work rooted in autobiographical reflection and continuous evolution. My projects address themes such as death and mourning (Pământeşti, The Important Bigwigs, The Bacchae, Fetiches), identity (The Important Bigwigs, URthe1), migration (Exchange Currencies), and the symbolic and emotional fabric of family and community (Comensais, Familiar Icons).
I work primarily in painting, combining traditional glazing techniques with pure color fields or gradients that evoke the digital realm. Repetition is a constant in my practice, a way of engaging with the serial logic that shapes contemporary experience. I draw on personal images, shared cultural references, and found faces, reinterpreting them through a grammar that blends Orthodox iconography, advertising aesthetics, emojis, and digital interfaces.
My work has been exhibited in Spain, Portugal, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Mexico, and the United States, and is held in private collections worldwide. Since 2022 I have directed Casa das Peritas, an online gallery with a physical space in rural Costa da Morte, Galicia, which also hosts occasional artistic and curatorial projects with other artists.
