Visual Artist, Digital Illustrator & Technical Illustrator I am a multidisciplinary visual artist with an academic background from the National University of Arts Bucharest (UNARTE), where I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage and am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in the same field. My education provided rigorous training in academic drawing, painting, composition, color theory, Byzantine iconography, and the accurate study of form, anatomy, light, and materials. Alongside my specialization in art conservation and restoration, I have developed a strong focus on digital illustration and visual design. I create atmospheric illustrations, character designs, editorial artwork, product visuals, and technical illustrations that combine traditional artistic principles with modern digital workflows. My restoration background has given me exceptional observational skills and an in-depth understanding of historical techniques, materials, and surface rendering, allowing me to depict complex textures such as glass, metal, ceramics, wood, textiles, and organic materials with precision. I work confidently in both traditional and digital media, combining classical artistic discipline with contemporary illustration practices. Whether producing expressive illustrations, educational graphics, scientific visuals, or commercial artwork, I prioritize accuracy, visual storytelling, and professional execution. I am proficient in Procreate, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Figma, and Canva, enabling me to efficiently deliver high-quality artwork for editorial, publishing, branding, educational, and commercial projects. I am available for freelance, remote, and Bucharest-based collaborations with creative agencies, publishers, design studios, educational institutions, and commercial clients.

    Holy Mother and Child
    This expressive mixed media painting presents the Holy Mother and the Child Jesus through a contemporary figurative lens. Blending abstraction with expressive brushwork, the composition emphasizes divinity, maternal love, and spiritual protection rather than traditional realism. Rich layers of color, gestural marks, and symbolic forms create an intimate atmosphere, inviting viewers to reflect on the sacred bond between mother and child and the enduring presence of faith, compassion, and grace. gouache pastel watercolor
