He will assert through an anecdotic sculpture, with a generous opening towards humanness. He will display personal exhibitions in Bucharest (1976; 1977; 1989; 1990), in Paris (1992; 1999), and equally be present in group exhibitions (1968, Craiova), symposiums (1985, Sighet) or exhibitions of Romanian art abroad (1988, Heilbroom; 1998, Leipzig). Attracted by the world of theatre, the grotesque and the transvestites, his world will be made up of a series of harlequins and clowns, favoured characters of his expressive sculpture. Burlesque silhouettes, rhetorical gestures, grimaces will propose, under the guise of the transvestite, themes such as melancholy, absurdity, irony etc. (G.M.)
