i'm eduard, an artist and writer from romania. most of what i make is an attempt to create something that breathes, something you don't just look at or read or use, but something you want to sit inside for a while.

i work across mediums because i've never understood why i should pick one. i believe expression takes many forms, and bringing together more mediums can foster more depth. limitation is one of the elements that guides me, because in my world, limitation allows for maximal expression.

i think a lot about meaning. why does this feel like something? why would someone come back to it? i'm drawn to slowness, and to things that earn attention rather than demand it. the world has enough noise, and i'd rather make a room.

there's a belief at the center of everything i do, and it's simple: kindness is not softness. it might be the most difficult, and most deliberate thing you can choose, especially now, but i try to let that shape everything i do and am.

you'll often see a rose accompanying my work. the rose is called hikari, a word that means "light." over time it became a symbol of love, kindness, and empathy. what began as a simple gesture, sending a rose at the end of conversations, slowly revealed itself as something more. i look at it as a reminder of the kind of world i want to help build. every rose carries that intention.

i am not in a rush. i am breathing life into things that i want to still mean something years from now. 🌹
