It makes me so happy to bring paintings to the customers! We stayed safe on 1,5 m but still could make a little talk. During Corona times I provide free delivery within The Netherlands to avoid traveling in public transport.
Thank you dear Raluca & Ashwin for taking the works home!

Working home. Staying positive.
Thinking of where we are going to and what will change after the isolation is finished  what do you think our society will have to deal with? Which conclusions are we gonna make? Maybe it is not so necessary to travel far away for a meeting, because now we manage to arrange great work meetings with the team online... Maybe it is also good for our planet?
From 2013 on till 2018 I was working from home all the time. It was challenging to organise own day and to stay productive, but now while looking backwards I see that it was productive and I enjoyed it a lot. In 2018 I started to study at Grafisch Lyceum Rotterdam (graphic design). Since then I'm used to the structure. However working home saves traveling time and adds comfort. However there are more destructions like some daily activities, coffee and my cat :) It requires just a bit more self-control. I also noticed that I miss my art-studio. It would be perfect to have it now.
I hope you are dealing well with self organising and manage to stay happy with own productivity and have enough time for revaluation and relaxation.
Stay safe!

Smash The Narrative "You can't paint that" | Art Prize & Exhibition 2020
We were working on this project together with James for more than 1 year (specifically on 2020 art prize). We went bigger (bigger location, but also more than 2 times more people applied - 280 applications). The location type was different and we had to find a right approach and to go over some organising challenges. But in the end it was fun, educative and creative.
As an co-organiser (or manager?), I've learned a lot this year. It was again a great experience. And if you ask me if I would do it again? Definitely.
Exhibition will be prolonged in September (for now closed because of C-virus)
Location: NDSM Fuse, Amsterdam

"Drink Coffee = Grow Humanness" & Eversys, Switzerland
I'm happy to share with you my amazing experience of visiting Eversys office in Switzerland! Super thankful for that and proud to be part of such a mindful organisation.
Special thanks to:
- The Coffee Art Project organisation for organising such a beautiful project.
- Eversys company for having my work and having a beautiful mission, also for arranging our stay in Switzerland.
Was happy to meet the director of Eversys Jean-Paul and the professional and friendly team.

The Story Behind:
In 2014 I took part in the amazing project organised by The Coffee Art Project in Amsterdam and have won it.
All these years my painting "Drink Coffee = Grow Humanness" was travelling around with the project and recently was sold to the Eversys company. After all they also created 200 of the reproductions of this painting and will give it as a gift to their special guests invited for celebration of 10 years anniversary of the company.
This company carries for people who are engaged in the cultivation of coffee. They take part in organisation educational programs for people working on coffee plantations in order to improve the overall life of the population of these countries. Since coffee is one of the main sources of income for those countries, it is important to have a good structure for growing and producing.
They not only care about the success of their company, but also about the future, their own future and people they work with.​​​​​​​

RMBRNDT.NU | Klaproos Amsterdam
"Inspired by the old master Rembrandt van Rijn, RMBRNDT.NU is an exhibition of contemporary artwork. The Dutch word NU means NOW. The idea for this exhibition emerged from the fact that many beautiful artworks submitted for the LangLeveRembrandt exhibition in the Rijksmuseum ultimately did not find their way into a gallery space. Are you an artist who feels inspired by Rembrandt? Then participate by submitting your work."

It was a challenge, but a perfect challenge which made my eyes burning when I've seen the open call. I've seen it too late (1 week before the deadline), bought a canvas and said to myself "I will be on time!".
After the concept was ready I painted this work day by day around 4 - 6 hours per day. It was clear to me why I would like to participate in this exhibition: old master in a new way with the new concept behind.

Why Rembrandt painted only those men studying anatomy back then? Because it was the norm of that time. But is this norm the same now? I removed the figures from the painting and replaced it with my personal portrait style - head in the cube shape. Now the viewer can put any character they can imagine instead of the painted by Rembrandt men. Woman? African man? Transgender? Who do you see there while looking at my painting?
More about this project on my website in the "Projects"

Thankful for all who organised this project and made it happen! And of course thanks to all who came to the exhibition!

Smash The Narrative | Alter Nation 2018 - Art Prize & Exhibiton
One year ago I was asked by James - initiator and sponsor of this project to be a manager and organise the art prize & exhibition. At that time I had experience in organising smaller scale expos and was happy to challenge myself to organise a bigger one. I knew how and what, James knew what he wants. We made a team.
One of my tasks was to find a gallery, where the final exhibition and award can take place. We were lucky to start working with GO Gallery - very professional and friendly at the same time Oscar and Farud became great hosts for the art prize.

Packing the sold paintings
Proud to share with you that 3 works of mine have found a new house recently. Together with my assistant we have decided to show you how do we pack the works of art when they are sold and filmed the packing process from the beginning till the end. Now the customer and you can see how it happens and in which condition you will receive the work if you buy it.
Also I would like to thank Simon (customer) for giving us an opportunity to create this.
