On dansait seulement la nuit
Technique: mixed media (oil, ink, watercolor) on glass
Lock-down creativity
I call this the lock-down series because they were all done during the Covid-19 quarantine.
Technique: oil on glass, based on drawings by Friboy.
Friboy’s bestiary of magical beasts
This is the latest series of paintings I made based on Friboy’s drawings. They are all animals, which are my favourites of all his drawings. I love his minimalist lines and graphic design, they remind me of Keith Haring’s style and they allow me to work with details without overdoing it.
New large glass paintings
These are my latest commissioned glass paintings, 50×40 cm. The first is called Elysian flowers and second is Rosa Rolanda backstage.
The hall of raving rabbids
This is a series of small paintings based on Friboy’s drawings of the raving rabbids sold at Bazar Bizarre and some commissioned by Friboy’s aunt.
Glass art exhibition by Friboy at Le Nouveau Monde
We organized this exhibition with the purpose of funding Friboy’s school ski camp this year. I made about 37 paintings on glass, all based on his drawings. Café de l’Ancienne Gare hosted this exhibition, also to the benefit of the children. We sold almost all of the paintings and managed to cover the costs for his entire class.
Ethnic embroidery
Hand embroidery on antique homespun fabric, some of the designs are created by me after extensive research of ethnic textiles and semiotics.
Ethnographic collection exhibitions
I haven’t written about this before here, but my interest in art started with ethnic clothing and not painting. I started collecting folk dress items many years ago. I have exhibited some of my Romanian folk costumes in Fribourg. See below some of the photos.
Woodworking
Here is a selection of my woodwork throughout the years. It is the first medium I have painted on since I started making art.
