Description
“Tulip Bouquet” captures a quiet, intimate moment where nature’s vivid beauty speaks for itself. I was drawn to the harmony of soft pastels and bold tones in this simple arrangement of tulips. Painted in oil on wood panel, my focus was on conveying the tender texture of each petal and the elegant way the flowers drape naturally across the surface.
This painting comes framed in a light-brown floating frame.

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.
