Artist Statement -



Artist�s Statement
My Art is my Statement.



Volume and Space are concepts that have influenced my art. I am particularly fascinated by their appearance in the human body.
I am interested in exploring dialogue both internal dialogue, which exists within oneself, and external connection that moves between two people or objects.
My art explores �contradictions� which are attracted to each other and create a new whole. The human figure appeals to me as an adequate form for expressing these ideas. Working with glass has given me the opportunity to stretch the boundaries of these concepts to new limits, as well as offering me the joyful experience of playing with colour.
I would like to concentrate my attention on capturing absence, an impression, commemorate memory, fleeing presence, give physical form to a spiritual value. The absence transferred into visual terms, long after it ceased to exist.
In both instances, when working with bronze or glass, I apply a casting technique called �Lost Wax�.

Prof. PhDr. Sylva Petrova, Czech and Slovak Glass in Exile 2007, exhibition catalogue.
.....Zoja Trofimiuk is a self-confident glass practitioner who is familiar with all kinds of glass methods. However her original artistic background remains untouched, which makes her artistic profile and potential in glass quite unique and means that her work clearly �stands out from the crowd�. Not many glass artists have come into the field of glassmaking from fine art practice, having even won awards at sculptors� competitions the Biennale in Ravenna, Italy, in 1981 and 1990 . And not every contemporary glass artist is capable of perceiving the physical and visual bonds between three dimensional works and their surrounding space, or having sensitivity for the proportions of the objects � not to mention the ability to create an abstract human figure in convincing movement.
Zoja Trofimiuk is capable of expressing herself throughout the entire range of glass techniques, in hot glass as well, though kiln glass is best suited to her type of work. Her original pieces are bringing back figurative sculpture into the field of glass, and what is more they are helping to make the contemporary glass scene even more diverse.
