​
Oil painter and surrealist from Romania, born in 1999.
My work is an act of freedom—freedom to unravel, to distort, to embrace the mess of being. Through my paintings and drawings, I tear down the walls of reality, letting my mind run wild and inviting you to do the same.
​
The "Bacon Bois" are my strange creatures with faces twisted by time, drawn in wild, unrefined strokes. Their wrinkles are not flaws, but marks of survival, of stories untold. They speak in a language that defies logic, with shapes and lines that shift and blur, like memories that never quite settle. Their words, written in my own hand: truth—imperfect, messy, raw—just like what we like to spill.
​
I don’t believe in a single reality. I see the world as a vast, fluid landscape where time and form bend and break, where nothing is fixed. The surreal is my way of seeing—not as a distortion, but as a truer reflection of life’s strangeness. Aging, change, confusion—these are not to be feared, but to be welcomed. Each wrinkle, each twisted line, is a testament to the freedom of living fully, unfiltered, and without apology.
​
Whatever happens, happens. And in that chaos, there is truth.
