About

The Artist

I was born in Bucharest in 1981 and moved with my family to Malmö, Sweden, in 1989. My studies in Political Science and International Relations took me to Italy, Australia, and Switzerland, where I earned an MA specializing in post-conflict reconstruction. Alongside this, I trained as a counsellor in Integrative Psychotherapy—drawn by a deep curiosity about the human condition and the ways we find healing and meaning.

Art, however, has always been my truest language. After years of sketching on scraps of paper, I finally settled in Malmö in 2008 and began painting. Acrylics became my medium—fast, vibrant, and perfectly aligned with the immediacy I feel when I create.

My work draws on purist influences, balancing sharp lines with flowing forms, masculine with feminine, structure with fluidity. In each painting, I explore harmony within contradiction, reflecting how life itself holds both chaos and order.

Alongside my studio practice, I am also the founder of Samtalamera, a psychotherapy practice in Malmö, and CoART, an artist-driven platform for collaboration and community. Whether through painting, therapy, or building spaces for others to thrive, my mission is the same: to inspire reflection, awakening, and deeper connection—with ourselves, each other, and the world we share.

The Art

My work is rooted in a lifelong fascination with form, color, and the ways opposites can coexist in harmony. Early on I was inspired by cubism, but its darker tone led me toward purism—a language of clarity, structure, and balance. This purist cubism-inspired foundation gave me the precision and simplicity that still underpin my work today.

Over time, however, structure alone became too limiting. I began to expand into a freer dialogue, introducing flowing inks and more intuitive gestures alongside geometric shapes. Acrylics allowed me to work with immediacy—where sharp lines meet soft curves, flat surfaces open into depth, and stillness gives way to rhythm. This evolution reflects my own inner journey: a process of integrating shadow and light, order and chaos, control and surrender.

At the center of much of my work stands the feminine figure—both muse and mirror—embodying beauty, strength, vulnerability, and transformation. She holds the contradictions of the human experience and reminds us that harmony does not come from perfection, but from integration.

Through this layered process, my paintings invite reflection and awakening. They are spaces where the viewer is encouraged to meet themselves, each other, and the world with greater depth and awareness.
