About

I was born in 1983 in the comunist Bucharest, Romania, where I lived and studied architecture. My passion for art started at an early age but the University of Architecture influenced him to start producing recycled magazine collages as a step forward from my previous mix media artworks (digital, graffiti and acrylic). The result was so exciting that, ever since, I've been more fascinated by the torn pieces of paper than paints.

I enjoy working with nothing but recycled magazines and all pieces are manually tear or cut apart and glued to the canvas.
