Twelfth night
(or the melodrama if the artist who forgot how traditional art works). So, after working digitally for a very long time, and longing to get back to oil pastels, I finally got the chance.

Saturday Sketches 2020
So… the story goes like this: my 2020 goal was making a series of traditional works. And it tuned out to be more difficult than I initially thought. Sure, I could blame it on my lack of patience ( …I do the sketch in pencil. I scan the sketch. I finish it in Photoshop. I…

Visual Playground – Day1
I spent the end of July and the beginning of August 2017 in Bucharest, taking part in the Visual Playground workshops. This is a visual diary of sorts, accompanied by field notes and photos. Many thanks to the organizers for making this possible and a shout out to the awesome artists who were my colleague…
