ILLUSTRATION passion for art It all began for I felt, growing up, the need to better understand the world around me. Soon enough, my artworks became a way of expressing feelings, emotions or concepts as a way of explaining my thoughts, first to myself and to others. process After 15 years of art oriented studies, I now mix drawing & painting on paper with digital post-processing. description: Electric Flower (coloured pen, pencil & marker on paper 148 x 210 mm) Inspiration came as I noticed two women chatting while standing in the sea by the shore. I felt energised like an electric flower as the sun shined so beautifully in that specific day so I honoured this electric feeling. ELECTRIC FLOWER page 16 page 17 page 18 DIGITAL ILLUSTRATIONS page 19 page 20 page 21 TUTORING @ 59th ANC - Annual NASA Convention NASA = National Association of Student Architects, India Watch our video here & for snapshots, visit: Number 6 Workshop FB page Abstract Inspired by the vast potential of designing objects by replicating sacred geometry into dynamic structures, I joined the 59th Annual NASA Convention as tutor by initiating a 5-days-long workshop for 30+ architecture students. Our mission as tutors was to find uses of the vector equilibrium by designing it to a larger scale. Materials I chose bamboo as our main structural material. Half-cubeoctahedron-shaped, tent-like & foldable structures and furniture replicating solid shapes were designed prior to the event. The main task for our participants was to come up with joinery solutions, inspired by the cubeoctahedron toy (page ...), drawings and prototypes made prior to the event, in order to design these structures that are foldable, flexible but also stable when erect. As we only had 5 days of solid work at our disposal, we also used afordable and easy-to-use materials. We created joinery out of thoroughly tied rope, elastic rope & a few nuts and bolts for stabilising the geometry of the structure. Outcome After 5 days we obtained 4 foldable shelter/ tent structures that can be folded down and up with the help of 3 people. Other solid shapes were obtained and were used for seating. The purpose of this workshop was to experiment and force this low-quality bamboo to brake, opening up to new discoveries in our designs. These strucutres, would ideally be covered with impermeable material so to create a living space inside. page 22 page 23 page 24 video Daily Dose of MEDS - Episode #3 MEDS official website MEDS Facebook page MEDS Bucharest 2016 page 25 PHOTOGRAPHY & EDITING TAKEN FROM MY TRAVELS THROUGH INDIA AND IN MY VISITS TO BUCEGI MOUNTAINS page 26 page 27 MY INDIAN STORY We visited Taj Mahal after a stupid fight over dinner.... He complained about northern Indian wether being too cold... I complained about his cold attitude that’s been lasting since we started the trip ! We both decided to spend the night in Agra and go visit other cool monuments the next day. Finding a cheap hotel at dawn was an easy task, we confided into a well-intended rickshaw driver who took us to a cheap hotel in the area. We fell tired and soon asleep, ‘cause of our fight from before... and due to distractions coming from all over: cold room, the long bus drive from Jaipur, the moist & cold bedsheets, the noisy monkeys, rickshaw sounds and horns we could hear from down the street... Next morning, as I pulled away the curtains, I was left perplexed, again, by these very specific indian aesthetics, which now serve as a reminder of our adventurous trip.... page 28 page 29 page 30 page 31 The Bucegi mountains are part of the large National Park Bucegi, a protected area in Romania. It’s high altitude and clear weather makes space for interesting natural formations to occure, rare plant species, all in all it being a vast place left unexplored. If you are curious enough and if you are used to living in a big busy city like myself, I honestly recomend traveling to Bucegi, as it truly is a place where you can reconect with yourself and nature. page 32 page 33 page 36 page 36 page 37 page 37 page 38 page 39 page 40 page 41
