Description
In this artwork, I sought to capture the vibrant essence and tranquility of a birch forest in autumn. Each stroke of my oil paints breathes life into the glowing yellows and deep greens, contrasting beautifully with the stark whiteness of the birch trees. This piece is a celebration of nature’s subtle yet powerful beauty, aiming to bring a sense of peace and natural splendor into any space it graces.
The painting was made with oil paints on a cradled wood panel. The sides are painted, so no framing is required.
A certificate of authenticity is available upon request.

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.
