Eugen Sterpu studied 1975–1981 in Arts High School Moldavia and 1981–1989 in Eesti Riiklik Kunstiinstituut (renamed 1989 as Eesti Kunstiakadeemia / Estonian Academy of Arts). In Estonia he specialized in sculpture. Between the years 1994–1995 Sterpu taught at the Moldovan Arts High School in ChişinăUniversity
Sterpu lives and works in Tallinn, Estonia. Eugen Sterpu has had individual and joint exhibitions in Moldova, Romania, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Sweden and Russia. Eugen Sterpu has invented a special and original way of working with pastel colors.
He draws on sandpaper and uses linseed oil.
The resulting colours are clear and strong. The right couloured passe-partout helps bringing out the pure clearnes and contrast of the colours.
In 2004 Estonian Television (ETV, Eesti Televisioon) made a documentary “Viive and Eugen Sterpu” for the programme series “Subjektiiv”.
Viive Sterpu is a member of Eesti Kunstnike Liit (The Estonian Artists" Association (European Association of Archaeologists)).
