Art in my life I started drawing since I was seven years old . My mother has always encouraged me to draw and paint . I remember she used to tell me to choose the best colors I like , and to draw something simple like a flower , then we painted it together with multi- colors that we chose . The colors always fascinated me and attracted my attention to use different colors and explore it's beauty which it creates . Back then , I used all my drawing and paintings as a cover for my note books at school . At intermediate school we learn to draw with pencil and coal , I liked the patterns of light and shadow, and I found myself in this kind of drawings , that I used to draw in my books when I found something hard to memorize , and it helped me a lot beside making studying more enjoyable for me . I mostly draw nature , Romanian architecture, still life and mostly adding something from my imagination into it . Yet , I like to be open to all kinds of art to be able to enjoy it . I get more interested in art when I studied literature at the university , it help me to understand the art more and to feel it's beauty , I started to illustrated some of the poems I studied , for instance , The Mirror, There Is No Frigate Like a Book , The Sick Rose , Dover Beach any many more . Also, I participated in university art gallery exhibitions and twice at fine art exhibitions . I'm inspired by my dreams and I usually modify my old drawing and paintings . because after three or four weeks when I look at it again , it seems like unfinished work to me , thus I re-draw and re-paint them especially by adding some details or changing colors . The time I spent while I draw , paint or write a poem , it is just unique and joyful , because at that time I forgot my whole problems , stress and work pressures , and I clear my mind to enter a relaxing and magnificent world , in which I can freely express my thought , ideas , and my feeling .
