Description
Weightless Surrender is part of my Waterworks series. This painting was inspired by the intense, universal need to pause — to step away from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with oneself in a moment of pure, sensual release. I painted it during a time when I needed to remind myself — and hopefully others — that it’s okay to let go, to cool down, to exhale. That strength can come from stillness, and that water, with its timeless rhythm, can cleanse more than just the body.
This painting was made with oil paints on a cradled wood board, which does not require framing, as the sides are painted.

Art is my bridge between the tangible and the intangible, a way to connect with others and explore the deepest corners of the human soul. My work reflects my personal journey—rooted in the rugged beauty of Transylvania, enriched by my life in Canada, and shaped by the leap I took at age 50 to pursue my dream of being an artist.
As a self-taught artist, I began with the meticulous strokes of pencil realism, learning to observe and translate the world with precision and care. Over time, my practice has evolved into a dance of mediums—pastels, acrylics, oils, mixed media, and resin—each chosen to express a specific mood or story. My engineering background often finds its way into my art, inspiring elements of structure, precision, and symmetry that contrast with the organic flow of emotions I seek to portray.
Each piece I create holds a narrative, weaving emotions, experiences, and meaning into its very fabric. Whether it’s a celebration of the human spirit—capturing resilience, passion, and connection—or a depiction of nature and its splendours—showcasing its vibrant beauty, tranquil moments, its wildlife, and untamed power—my art serves as a visual storybook. Through every stroke of color, texture, and form, I aim to inspire reflection, evoke emotions, and invite viewers into a shared journey of discovery and appreciation for the world around us.
Art, for me, is more than a career or passion—it is a way of life, a means of self-discovery, and a channel for connection. It is my hope that my work resonates with viewers, offering them moments of introspection, inspiration, and connection.
