Metamorphosis

Vasile Stefanoiu

I am a sculptor, a painter and an art enthusiast. My Credo is: art must have a message. I sculpt on all sides in the "Ronde-bosse" system because it can be seen all around. I am one of those sculptors who insist on making art in the traditional way, but without rejecting contemporary trends. In some of my sculptures I take the narrative context of some legends from the civilization of ancient Greece and place them in different contexts, suggesting movement in metamorphosis, to create completely new meanings and evoke completely different emotions, a way of seeing again in the era modern. The materials in which I sculpt are diverse: stone, marble, wood and stainless steel. In sculpture, I aim to produce the sensation of the real and to create images that are on the border between true and unreal, exploring that fine connection between authentic and artificial.
