With Valentine’s Day and Dragobete (a Romanian celebration of love and spring) just a month away, I’ve prepared a series of artworks inspired by the theme of love. My inspiration came from a famous couple who proudly shared that they buy their child a painting every year for his birthday. Their reasoning? What could be more meaningful than giving the gift of art to someone special? And they’re absolutely right! I love this idea of doing the same for our life partners.
The Open Heart Series is about the courage to keep your heart open—or to open it again—after heartbreak. It’s a gentle reminder that while heartbreak can make us wary, the world is still full of kind, loving souls who can restore our faith in connection. Love can be as beautiful as we dare to believe. Each painting captures this emotional journey: the fear of shutting down, the bravery it takes to trust again, and the magic that unfolds when we do. A heart that dares to bloom can become a firework of wild joy, a delicate garden of tenderness, or a peaceful wave of calm.
These pieces are created with acrylic paints, layered textures, and metallic accents, brought to life through a special palette technique. Each painting features the motto written along its side: “My safe place. My wildest adventure.”
