The Skater of Bucharest

As far as “The Skater” goes, I have always wanted a self-portrait, not because the idea of visually re-creating myself satisfied me, but because I’ve always wanted to show the energy that is stored up in my spirit. For me, skateboarding was a bridge, connecting me with art ever since I was a child, and offering me substance. It has taught me the many rules that have helped me navigate freely through space, thus inspiring me later in my artistic processes.  (Alexandru Ranga)
