About the artist

A Digital Designer by day, and an illustrator by night, I specialise in creating dark, high contrast illustrations with sharp etchings, drawing heavy inspiration from Doré and Leyendecker alike. My passion stems from an array of media I've consumed throughout my life, from horror movies, heavy metal music, graphic novels by Marvel and DC, to early-to-mid 90s shows on Cartoon Network. There was never a high school notebook void of ballpoint drawings of zombies, grungy guitarists, or Spider-Man swinging off math equations.

I was born in Romania, having graduated the Bucharest National University of Arts with a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design in 2015, followed by a 4 year stint at a small gaming studio as a 2D General Artist. I am currently a Digital Designer at an aviation tech company, responsible for Branding, Marketing collateral and vector illustration.

Currently deeply rooted in Edinburgh, Scotland, with my now wife. It is very difficult to leave when you're surrounded by some of the best people and the mightiest Highlands.

Let’s collaborate!
