Valeria Fulop

As an artist and researcher I have been exploring questions around gender, identity, migration, displacement, and womanhood.
My research interests are: women artists, inherited trauma and memory, art and trauma, twentieth-century art, Central and East European art and design, folk-art, craft, Cold War cultures, Holocaust-and post-Second World War art.

My paintings are inspired by tranquility and spiritual freedom. My work is influenced by Balkan and Central/Eastern-European culture, exploring myths, folklore, and primordial female archetypes. I’m concerned with the alienated and isolated individual who lost connection from ‘oneness’ separated from one’s original roots.
