Blickpunkt Unterricht – Kunst + Unterricht, Issue 495/96 (September 2025)
In my recent article for Kunst + Unterricht (Issue 495/96), I write about a bilingual architecture project in which 11th grade students designed models while working through both visual and linguistic expression.
Conceived as a CLIL project, it enabled multilingual repertoires — German, English, and heritage languages — to surface naturally in the art classroom.
The project shows how art and language learning can intertwine, each amplifying the other. When students are invited to draw on their full linguistic resources, architecture turns into a medium of dialogue: between forms and words, between languages and identities.
L’intime à l’œuvre — La peau des 100 odeurs
Presses Académiques Francophones, 2011
This research explores how identity takes shape through sensorial memory — particularly through olfaction — and how it weaves itself into artistic creation. Grounded in the idea of intimacy as a shifting space between self and world, the book asks: Can every work of art be read as a form of autofiction — a fusion of autobiography and fiction?
Rooted in autofiction theory, the thesis views the artwork as a vessel for intimate truths and a resonance space for shared human experience. Drawing on examples from contemporary visual art, it speaks to those curious about the entanglements of identity, memory, and creation — and the subtle ways they move between resistance and adaptation.

A Cowboy´s Work Is Never Done
Heliumcowboy Artspace Publication – Hamburg, 2006
This early body of work marked my first exhibition outside Romania (2004). The installation titled Dreamax consisted of ten large-format paintings—pop-inflected, text-laced, and deliberately ambivalent. Drawing on the aesthetics of pin-up culture and advertising, the works staged a visual diary that both inhabited and dismantled familiar codes of femininity. I used my own image as a point of rupture: a figure stepping out of the painted surface into the space, blurring the boundary between representation and presence. The result was a staged dissonance—between gloss and conflict, surface and depth, irony and vulnerability.
