Adânca mea tristețe
Depression · 2022 · 314 p.
Co-authored and illustrated. An academic anthology on depression that needed a cover willing to carry what the text, by necessity, could only approach. Where clinical language ends, the image begins. Published by Editura Universitară.

Prețul Frumuseții
Eating Disorders · 2021 · 242 p.

Puterea de a Merge Mai Departe. Reziliența
Resilience · 2022 · 286 p.

Few make it to the bottom of anything.

This is where I ended up. Glad you did too.

Andrei Bobariu — Creative Director, Bucharest

I'm a creative director and visual producer based in Bucharest. Six years in, working across photography, film, design, illustration, and writing. I co-founded Off The Grid and have done work that ended up in academic books, a documentary, and a few art books and zines.

My academic background is in psychology and psychotraumatology. That shapes how I read people, run a team, and know when something actually works and not just looks good.

Open to commissions, collaborations, and projects internationally.
