CURRENT MISSION

Having a loving family and two healthy and bright children is an everyday mission, I try to do my best at it while still working as an artist and combining my love for painting and sculpture with my passion for transforming 'trash' into something beautiful

ABOUT ME

I am crazy about art and its multitude of forms, from everyday garbage to art museums, exhibitions and my own way of trying to enrich others with something. You get a better glimpse of who I am by looking at my art : www.maiaoprea.ro/en

PHILOSOPHY

nature says it all
