Features
I have always worked and I work with various materials, each with its own qualities.
STONE
For example, natural stone is the ideal combination of elegance and durability.
BRONZE
Bronze is harder and more resistant while offering more possibilities for expressing plasticity, and metals are malleable.
WOOD
Wood is a warm, natural, versatile and durable material that is easy to work with.
PLASTIC
Sometimes, I also use newer materials, such as plastic or various resins, which can bring extra modernity to the sculptures
What critics say about…

The simple elements, but always elaborated with incredible application, first make us think of the ordinary and then push the clear perception to explore the paths of a new imagination. It is through these pure forms modelled with precision that we discover the spirit of matter and its own measure, according to Brancusi. Thought is thus united with the material itself in the act of the sculptor encouraging the viewer to touch, to caress the accomplished works of art. In search of the essence of things, Stefan Ghitan renounces the figurative transposition of reality, in order to awaken the consciousness of this intrinsic natural energy. Deeply sensitive to his materials, this heir to organic abstraction creates forms that carry strength and vitality within them.”

„Sculptor Stefan Ghitan is an artist of strong essences. You can tell he did his apprenticeship with the well-known sculptor Emilian Popescu, went through four years of sculpture studies at the University of Alfter Bonn in Germany, and had professors like Andreas Kienlin, Jochen Breme, Jaak Hillen, and Ullri Scknakenberg. Also, Brâncusi’s influence haunts him like a ghost, in the beautiful sense of the word. Stefan Ghitan is a supporter of existentialist and metaphorical sculpture, has mostly exhibited in Germany, and without a doubt, his rise in terms of recognition will be rapid and exceptional.”

The vase, the amphora – a feminine symbol, an object with magical symbolism, serves as a metaphor for human life. With its characteristic shape, it offers a timeless elegance that continues to fascinate art and history lovers. The circle is a symbol of perfection and eternity, which can suggest the sky, the sun and God. Unlike the circle, a symbol of the sacred, of spirituality, the square signifies stability, permanence, the physical, material, earthly world, the manifestation of God in Creation, the right sides and angles of the square suggest order, rigorousness. The square establishes a coordinate system, a symbol of earthly matter, the body and reality. The column is the elementary unit whose duplication makes possible the composition of the Whole. The column is life. It constitutes a particular form of the tree of life, a link between Earth and Heaven. The column is an indication of progress in the thinking of a civilization.
