Ilie Duta
multidisciplinary artist

About Me.

"a fusion of creativity, innovation, and a profound commitment"

​

I'm Ilie Duță, a multidisciplinary artist born on June 28, 1982, in PiteÈ™ti, Romania. My artistic journey has been shaped by a profound academic background, including a Bachelor's degree in Sculpture from the Faculty of Arts and Design TimiÈ™oara, followed by Master's and Doctoral studies in Sculpture at the same institution. I've also had the privilege of engaging in international experiences, serving as an Erasmus+ master's student at L’Ecole Suprieure d’ Art de Lorraine and later as a doctoral student at Escola Superior de Educação de Santarém in Portugal.

​

My artistic expression comes to life through various solo exhibitions, where pieces like "nAve aka defense shields" and "UTOPIA of Recycling in Contemporary Sculpture" ("UTOPIA reciclării în sculptura contemporană") unveil my unique perspective on contemporary sculpture. While I've showcased my work in Romania, my art has also found its place in international galleries and spaces across Portugal, France, and beyond.

​

Beyond solo exhibitions, I actively contribute to group exhibitions, leaving my mark on events like "RE:CONNECT" in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, and "CosZzmonautica 2022 - Forest of Antennae" in Timișoara. My involvement in symposiums, experimental architecture camps, and cultural events such as "Street Delivery" and "Underground Festival" reflects my diverse and dynamic artistic practice.

​

My work is a fusion of creativity, innovation, and a profound commitment to exploring the limitless possibilities within contemporary sculpture. Through my diverse experiences and active participation in cultural events, I strive to make a meaningful impact on the local and international art scene.
