I am an artist and an automation engineer. I'm interested in discovering ideas through approaching and combining information technology and technological processes with the artistic creation process, ideas that came in line with the value of humanity. Discovering new means of artistic creation by resorting to technological environments and information technology, allows me to present ideas about moral human values and to criticize the skirmishes of the contemporary society.
Born in Oradea / Romania in 1968, lives and works in Timisoara, Romania.
