Being also fond of photography and travelling, I've been across Romania looking for famous or less known monuments.

Until 1989, history was in the exaggerating nationalist patriotic way, many monuments or achievements have been kept secret. For example the history and the culture of the Transylvanian Saxons, the most important Romanian inheritance.

I've travelled for many years through the territories once inhabited by the Transylvanians Sxons. I've visited more than 150 villages and I've seen, photographed and drawn almost 130 fortified Saxon churches.

All this out of sheer passion, on my own, without a personal car, only hitch-hiking or on foot.

I've managed to gather a lot of information which I wanted to use in a book for disseminating the Transylvanian Saxon's culture. But in the meantime, the architect Herman Fabini, from Sibiu published his monumental work, a monography on Transylvanian Saxon villages. Feeling interested but not being a historian, I gave up the idea of making a book, contenting myself with publishing a series of map-drawings for tourist use, of the locations of these monuments, trying to make them known.

As I was travelling through Transylvania, I also discovered the beauty of gothic painting which fascinated me. The beauty of the gothic painting ensembles but as well their age and rarity made me want to see them again and again.

I now have a rich archive of photographs on 6/6 films of the most important ensembles of gothic painting from Transylvania, both fresco and poliptych altars which I want to present to all those interested.

Further more I'll present a number of photographs of some medieval monuments: fortresses, castles, churches more or less known, photographs taken during my roamings through this fascinating and fuul of history province.
