was born on 5th of October 1976 in Oradea - Romania. In the 4th grade I was into comic books and I began drawing. This passion, probably very spread among the kids of that age, lasted for a few years until highschool.
So, from `91 to `95, I followed the Art Highschool in Oradea where my classmaster and all my profile teachers were very cool. They taught me a lot of things; those were beautiful years with a lot of fun and all the rest. After highschool I attended The Art University from Oradea - Painting specialization, but after two years I gave it up in order to be employed (I had some reasons). All these happened when I begun to take computers more seriously and I realized how many possibilities they can offer with all the new software that appeared on the market. After a few good weeks of learning Photoshop 5 (helping a friend with some work) I managed to get a job as a graphic designer at a company that produces soft drinks. Here I had the chance to learn more about software, design, publicity and other things. At the same time, after work, during the next 2 - 3 years I made the illustrations for two children books, and other book covers for the same editor.
In December 2004, after 4 years of graphic design and after a year of visiting a CG forum named VisualArt, encouraged by one of my colleagues that worked in 3D, I finally posted my first illustrations (made for a new Romanian Trading Card Game called Warcards) on that forum. The works weren`t quite that good, but I had to get started from somewhere. I was welcomed and the gang was cool. I got a lot of critics, suggestions and of course help (thanks guys) and I manage to improve and to define my passion for digital illustrations. And so I entered, step by step, in the so-called group of "cgartists". I haven`t abandon the classic techniques, but for the moment I want to experience and to improve this style. I also appeared on some other CG forums, which`s links you will find on this site.
2005 was a very happy year for me, I got married and I finally finished my studies at the Art Faculty. For the moment I start to be a freelancer aand what`s going to happen from now on? Changes, professionally speaking, and many more others I hope. Nice to meet you and take care.
