I’m a London based artist inspired by people and nature, by philosophy and psychology, trying to make the world better and people happier, exploring emotional and psychological human changes in a new environment through painting and sculpture.​

My practice is about immigration as a psychological experience and as a part of contemporary life. I come from Moldova, a small country with just about 3.5 million population, which is declining daily. In the last ten years more than 1.2 million left Moldova. Everyone capable to work is trying to find a better life. As a result we have separated  families and kids growing up without their parents. It could be assumed that due to the industrialisation that triggered a sea change in population access to travel documents, transportation and technological progress during the last 100 years, migration grew more than ever before all around the world.

My experience of immigration has an emotional impact on my work. The interest in psychology has  played  an important role in my practice as well. The change of national identity in a multinational environment led me to the idea of translating this through painting and sculpture, showing the psychological emptiness in a modified, distorted identity, the disappearance of national identity as a result of assimilation and influence of new cultures.
My practice is a mixing of memories, dreams and intercultural interactions.
