Edit ProfileCareer
In 2012, six of her drawings were acquired by and exhibited in the Museum of Modern Artist She lives and works in Düsseldorf. Paloma Varga Weisz was trained as a woodcarver from 1987-1990 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.
Her multifaceted practice includes sculptures and installations mainly in wood and ceramics, as well as watercolors and drawings.
Angela Stief, a curator at the Kunsthalle Wien, has said of her work: "Paloma Varga Weisz’ sculptural oeuvre, characterized by obvious references to traditional iconography and handcraft, joins the historical with a contemporary artistic practice that only rarely reveals its genealogical roots." She is the youngest daughter of Feri Varga (1906 – 1989), a Hungarian artist who primarily lived and worked in France and Germany. 2000/2001: Bremerhavenstipendium, Bremerhaven.
