I AM A TRUE ARTIST. I HAVE BEEN PAINTING SINCE I WAS 10 YEAR OLD. UNFORTUNATELY, AN ACCIDENT IN OVER 20 YEARS AGO HAS LEFT ME PARTIALLY PARALYZED AND IN A WHEELCHAIR. THEREFORE I POUR MY LIFE, LOVE AND PASSION INTO MY WORK.
I AM A WELL KNOWN PAINTER AND SCULPTOR IN ROMANIA AND IN EUROPE. MY ART WORKS ARE COLLECTED BY RENOWNED ART COLLECTORS AND MUSEUMS. MY ART WERE FREQUENTLY EXHIBITED IN NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITIONS, AND WON NUMEROUS PRIZES.
THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OF MY LIFE WAS MY CONNECTION TO GOD THROUGH MY PAINTINGS FOR POPE JOHN PAUL II. I WAS COMMISSIONED TO PAINT THE PORTRAIT AND BIZANTYN ICON FOR POPE JOHN PAUL II. THE PAINTING IS NOW HANGING IN THE VATICAN MUSEUM IN ROME. IT WAS AN HONOR I WAS BLESSED BY THE POPE IN VATICAN AND BUCHAREST. AN EXPERIENCE I WOULD NEVER FORGET.
I ENJOY SHARING MY ART. I HAVE BEEN TEACHING ART FOR 16 YEARS NOW. TEACHING ART GIVES ME THE FREEDOM TO PURSUE MY TRUE PASSION OF CREATING MY OWN VISION. I SPEAK ROMANIAN, A LITTLE ENGLISH AND FRENCH. IN MY SPARE TIME, I AM ALSO A DEDICATED ADVOCATE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS, DISABILITY PEOPLE, AND ANIMAL PROTECTION. I AM QUITE WELL KNOWN FOR THE WORK I HAVE DONE WITH THE LESS FORTUNATE, ART WORLD AND THE GOVERNMENT. I WAS A CANDIDATE AS MAYOR OF CLUJ NAPOCA AND SENATOR IN 2000. LAST YEAR MY FAMILY FOUNDED GHEORGHE ASTILEANU CULTURAL FOUNDATION .I HOPE TO MAKE MY MISFORTUNE A BENEFIT FOR OTHERS IN THE FUTURE WITH THE WORK I DO FOR THE DISABLED PEOPLE.
I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE MY TALENT AND MY LOVE WITH ALL MY FRIENDS AROUND THE WORLD. BELOW ARE SOME SLIDESHOWS OF ME AND SOME OF MY PAINTINGS. YOU CAN CONTACT ME AT [email protected] or [email protected] .
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP, LOVE AND SUPPORT. MAY GOD BLESS YOU !!!
