About the Artist
Rada Vlascici
Engineering’s my profession,
sculpture is my passion!
Motto:
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication!
Born and educated in Romania.
Migrated to Australia in 1986.
Reflections:
ENERGY, mother of all bricks, created a puzzle that we try to solve using tools such as science, art and whatever else comes in handy. When everything else fails, we mask our impotence behind excuses such as †, ±∞, which in my opinion, mark the frontiers where the trap of our current tools allowed us to reach.
A good deal of my work is presented in this webpage; some, I do not have access to. Whether you call this art or not, this is your judgement! My great pleasure and joy was in bringing it to life!
I can only hope that you’ll be visually pleased! Everything else is a bonus.
In Memoriam: My whole work is dedicated to the courage, strength and honour of my mother: Kurth (Vlascici) Magdalena –Leni- 1933-2004.

Point of View
This work focuses on the subjectivity and perception of “reality”.
There are many realities as there are human subjects, except for life’s fundamentals: food, air and water. Everything else …
Parallel lines, may not be parallel for the untrained subject, and illusion may become the leading belief.
Question: Is the cross The Truth or is it The Illusion?
One thing is very clear to me: The Plum bob does not lie!!!

Eucalyptus crebra (Iron bark).
Eucalyptus tereticomis (Blue Gum).
Plum bob: brass (Cu + Zn)

Man’s World
“Man’s World” is a reflection upon male sexuality throughout an individual’s life span, as It was, as It is in normal male/female relations and It probably will be, unless some twisted brain connections unsettle the fragile circus that keeps the increasingly shaky balance in place.
