About the Artist

Paloma Varga Weisz is a distinguished German sculptor celebrated for her hauntingly beautiful and exquisitely crafted wooden figures. Her highly distinctive works, often carved from linden wood, possess a unique blend of folk art simplicity and profound psychological complexity. Varga Weisz's figures are frequently depicted with elongated limbs, disproportionate features, or in states of transformation, lending them an uncanny and ethereal quality. Her practice delves into themes of vulnerability, memory, and the subconscious, creating an intimate dialogue between the viewer and these introspective forms. The tactile nature of the wood, combined with her masterful carving, imbues her sculptures with a timeless and deeply resonant presence.
