Romania's capital city, Bucharest, displays an elegant past that, after 40 years of communism and corruption, is now reaching levels of decay that may defy renovation. Over the past ten years, I have tried to create a parallel between the image of Princess Brianna Caradja, whose aristocratic family was driven out of Romania by politics, and of the capital city that is crumbling both physically and socially. With my journalistic background, I attempt to mirror the forgotten, ignored grandeur of both the physical and social institutions of my homeland.

The Spirit of Houston
A colorful poster collection celebrating the people, neighborhoods, traditions and energy that make Houston one of America's most diverse cities.
The first posters in this collection were created during Houston's role as a host city for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. What began as a celebration of a global event has grown into an expanding artistic tribute to Houston's people and culture.
24x24in Fine Art Prints Available
Museum quality fine art print celebrating Houston's rich diversity and vibrant culture.
The Spirit of Houston is a series of graphic posters celebrating the identity, energy, and imagination of one of the world's most diverse cities. Created in anticipation of Houston welcoming visitors from around the globe, the series explores the many stories that shape the city through a collection of vibrant and symbolic compositions.
Drawing from Houston's connections to space exploration, sports, culture, nature, and community, each artwork presents a different facet of the city's character. Astronauts, flowers, athletes, typography, and familiar local references come together in visual narratives that blend reality with imagination. While inspired by a moment of international attention, the series reaches beyond any single event, focusing instead on the enduring spirit of the people and places that make Houston unique.
Through color, pattern, and layered imagery, The Spirit of Houston invites viewers to experience the city as both a physical place and an idea. A city rooted in Texas, connected to the world, and always looking toward new horizons.
