Viola Florin's artistry focuses on ceramic sculptures and charcoal drawings that take shape in an abstract expression filled with light and darkness. Her works reflect an unfiltered perception of the surrounding world. Dynamic compositions in rhythmically swirling forms travel through different levels, creating depth and movement. The relationship between sculpture and drawing is close, they influence each other and become new translations in a timeless drama.
