“Shadow” and “Major Aracana”
The art pieces from the “Shadow” collection were made to explore themes surrounding the self and the quest of inner balance.
The “Major Arcana” has beloved characters reinterpreted in my style to point out certain aspects of their personalities with regards to Major Arcana tarrot cards.
“Cei 47 de R(oi)nin”
“The 47 R(oi)nin” is my first manga volume.. Romanian folklore entwines with Japanese folklore to create a story aiming to discuss the nuances of honour, respect and life principles in a Romanian pastoral landscape. You can read it on Global Comix and Otabushi.net.

Exploring expressions through
Genshin Impact
The recreation of these emblematic manga panels from “Jujutsu Kaisen” by Gege Akutomi and “The Promised Neverland” by Kaiu Shirai and Posuka Demizu are meant to capture the essence of the depicted characters adapted to my micro-lining technique. Some also belong to the overarching theme of the Major Arcana.
Tote bags with iconic scenes
I created a sticker collection that encapsulates a variety of styles to reflect the diversity in personalities of the people I meet and interact with. It is fused with emblematic manga and anime scenes as their intrinsic message communicates subtle messages about the keeper of the sticker.
Sticker designs as tokens of expression
Live ShodO
Ever since I started studying Japanese, traditional ink calligraphy became something of high interest. I transformed my passion into something I can share with my students, friends and clients. I prefer to perform Shodō live to capture the emotion connection between me and my audience.

A Word from the artist
I thank you for taking a walk on my artistic path. As a token of my appreciation I will leave with you what Sonzai means:
存在そんざいSonzai means “Existence” in Japanese. I chose this name as I believe we only through art can we experience the true meaning of what it is to exist.
