WHO'S HOME? (2018) Pittura da Ic Raccoon

I don’t believe in art which is comforting or pretty, but I value art that has an uplifting quality. In other words, art should offer a visual game which is enjoyable and enriching. It should send a message, fill a living room with a new sensation or at least display a symphony of colors.

I make art because I need to synthesize thoughts and emotions visually. It’s not a mindless emotional release, nor a heartless mind game. It’s a clarification. Of course it’s also the pure delight of my eyes as seeing how the colors mix and take shape on the canvas can be as empowering as surprising.

I lived most of my life in Romania, moved for a couple of years in Croatia and I am currently residing in beautiful Warsaw, Poland. As an expat artist, I am inspired by new environments which help me get a fresh, somewhat detached perspective. I am passionate about philosophy, history and psychology, which influence my art a lot. I have a degree in Psychology and worked in advertising and video games industries before becoming a full time artist. I have gained my art skills during the last 10 years, mostly self-taught, but also by attending studio classes at Art Schools in Bucharest, Warsaw and online.

My preferred media are acrylic, watercolor and ink which I use on canvas and paper. I paint in an expressionist style, mostly abstract, though I don’t shy away from figurative either. I am proud to have shipped my works, until now, to private collections in Romania, Croatia, China, Canada and Ireland.
