Opening Night at the International Watercolor Art Fair 2025 – 1st edition

On August 1st, 2025, I had the pleasure of attending the opening night of the International Watercolor Art Fair – Ediția I, held in the beautiful setting of Alba Iulia. It was an inspiring evening filled with vibrant energy, remarkable works from talented artists around the world, and a deep appreciation for the watercolor medium.

I’m honored to share that I received a Special Prize from the jury—a recognition that truly means a lot to me. To have my work acknowledged among so many outstanding artists was both humbling and energizing. It was a reminder of why I paint: to connect, to explore, and to express something honest.

The exhibition space was alive with conversation and curiosity, and the organizers created a welcoming and professional environment for all involved. I'm grateful to have been part of this first edition and to witness the beginning of what I believe will become an important event in the international watercolor community.

Thank you to the jury, the organizers, and everyone who stopped by to engage with the work. I’m looking forward to what’s next.
