about the author

I was born in Romania, where I witnessed the first televised revolution. I always envied writers, artists, and film directors, which led me to try to infiltrate their ranks. I studied history of art and literature in Germany, wrote an MA thesis on nonsense literature, and then studied fine arts and graphic design at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. I have lived in the United States, Germany, Romania, the Netherlands, and France. I speak seven languages but often cannot find my words. I believe we have the moral imperative to be inquisitive in order to understand as much as possible. Art is not entertainment. There is no time for entertainment.
