Statement

LINDA SASKIA MENCZEL

S C U L P T O R

 

Born in 1972 in Romania, she studied at the Johannesburg Art, Ballet, Drama, and Music School until 1989. Upon returning to Romania she studied sculpture at the Western University Timişoara, from which she later obtained a Ph.D. Summa cum Laude in 2023. Member of the Romanian Union of Fine Arts since 1998. Founding member of the “Dor” artists’ group since 2001.

Selected to represent Romania at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens and at the EU Parliament in 2005. Awarded Excellence in Fine Arts awards in 2005, 2009 and 2015.

“I became aware that I have a responsibility for what I release into the world around me.”

Artists used to be educators. For a time in history, they showed visually what few people could know by reading sacred texts. When the artist lost this purpose, he lost his way.

He became a critic, a judge, a journalist, and a rebel, but no longer was art beautiful, positive and educational.

My desire is to take a step back to a time when art was subservient to its spiritual purpose.
