Embedded Files
I am a Moldovan painter based in the UK, whose work is deeply influenced by the cultural landscapes I have moved through. As an immigrant, I draw inspiration from the places I have lived in and travelled across, observing and recording the memories formed through moments of cultural encounter and transition. Working primarily with oil and acrylic, I am largely self-taught in both mediums. I hold an MA in Art and Visual Culture from the University of Westminster.
I began creating art regularly in the summer of 2020 and have since continued experimenting with a variety of subjects and styles to refine my artistic voice. My current practice explores socio-cultural themes through portraits, landscapes, still lifes, architecture and cultural symbols. These visual narratives often reflect my experiences of unrecognition, isolation and unsettlement as a minor cultural identity. Through my art, I seek not only to document my own journey but also to bring visibility to Moldovan and Romanian culture, which is often overlooked within Western-dominated global discourse.
