Artworks

Drawing is my favourite, my easiest and hardest way at the same time, to express my inner world representations. It’s something strange what I try to do, a process that I can’t fully understand, but I constantly urge myself to repeat it, over and over again, in order to find something I still don’t know what. That’s why, I try different techniques and materials. I use charcoals, markers, pens, pencils, acrylics, ballpoints, inks, etc. Also, I like monotyping, doodling, scratching, stamping, splashing, or painting with different materials on the surface, in order to confer an organic and peculiar vibe to the work, to surpass the physical limitations. The drawings are posted in chronologically order, so at the bottom of the page there are the oldest works. The top ones are mostly, the newest. I’ll try to describe them, as much as I can, especially since most of the time, there is not a conscious process, but a random one.

2025

Down here there is a small collection of little works on canvas, wood panels or cardboard (30×30 cm, A4). The same subject, the diving in subconscious world, enlighting through the dark around, expanding conscience, trespassing in a higher living state.

The drawings below are part of a series called “Inner Messengers,” which was exhibited this year – in 2025, in September, in an exhibition in Cenne-Monestiés, France, thanks to the curator of the exhibition, Elena Petraniciu. The drawings are about a personal immersion in my subconscious world to discover solutions to traumas and problems, to heal the soul and provide calm and resilience. It is like a dialogue with some alter-egos, like entities of the higher self waiting to receive solutions and saving messages in crisis situations. Each drawing is made on an A3 size thick drawing paper of white, grey or black colour, using acrylic, markers, or charcoal, by painting, drawing, scratching, or stamping the material on the surface etc.

Below there are other works from the same series of drawings, unexposed.

2020-2024

Down here, I posted some stuff I made, perhaps in the last five years, during the pandemic, on different supports: paper, canvas, cardboard. The size is variable, from A4 to 50×70 cm, using different materials and techniques, especially drawing witn markers, pencils, pastels or charcoal. I think the titles I gave to the works are not the best choice, but sometimes they came in my mind after I finish the work. However, the main subject, is, as usual, an introspective one, a dive in my subconscious, to find shelter, answers, and peace of mind.

2010-2020

Below, there are some drawings from a series created somewhere between 2010 and 2020. It was a difficult and long process, started around 2004, when I had somehow of revelation related to what I liked and should do as an artist: to draw some kind of abstract works in which to describe the unseen thinghs in the world around that I had to clear for myself (thinghs especially related to the perception of time passing, of the events aroud, about causes and effects causing other causes and effects in an infinite storm of facts, etc).

First of all, I drew them because I was obsessed by the time, by the NOW moment and how it is passing, and passing… years after years, while I try and struggle to do something unique and solid, to survive it. All my life, the time was my first obsession, the NOW point, to survive it, to catch somehow the present moment and to keep it motionless, to keep alive the little moments of joy that flow among us, and to keep far away of the present moment the pain, the suffering and so on.

To keep drawing as my only sollution to this passing of time, to survive to the daily thinghs everyone of us must face to, from waking up to going to bed, from birth to death. In these drawings I imagined somekind of radiography, scanning of events, trends, trajectories of facts, thoughts, intentions, expansions of events that cause other events, causes after causes after causes and so on, billions of little thinghs ( you may think of everything… laughs, words, wars, smiles, pandemics, hugs, hurts etc) that, together, create a huge and confuse picture of the present. An impersonal cosmic entity that flows, and flows, eating us, little by little. I have no control of it, just try to expose a very little snapshot of what I think it looks like.

Unfortunately, I never had the time and space to finish these projects, and, as a typical romanian, I hadn’t so much determination to consequently follow the big goal, getting lost among other things.

So the drawings below are almost the best drawings I did that years, made with acrylic, markers, and ballpoints, mostly on an A3 250-300 g paper.
