In June 2002 after graduating from the "Margareta Sterian" Art Highschool I had the opportunity to participate in a fun summer Art Camp, the 6th edition of "George Apostu" Art Camp from Bacau, Romania. You can see here a few sketches and a photo from the summer camp.

There is a famous Romanian folklore ballad called "Miorita" that deals with ethnic conflict among sheepherders. The literary piece inspired this small collection of mixed media drawings that bring the concept to a more modern conflict that deals with the crumbling rural communities shown through the abandoned peasant houses by people that preferred to go abroad to Western Europe. A direct effect of the EU accepting Romania into it's ranks and later into Shengen.
