Trace of Hamangia By Delia Zorzoliu Mixed media on paper (acrylic, charcoal, pastel oil, soft - SHIPS FROM Southampton, United Kingdom DescriptionThis work is inspired by the ancient Hamangia culture of Neolithic Romania, known for its anthropomorphic figurines and ritual symbolism. The piece reflects my personal interest in ancestral memory and cultural continuity.I used a combination of oil pastel, acrylic, ink, charcoal, graphite and soft pastel on fine art paper to build layered textures that echo the erosion of time. The figure at the center evokes both presence and disappearance — a timeless guardian shaped by instinct and silence.I hope viewers will feel a quiet connection to something ancient yet emotionally alive.Presented in a carefully restored vintage frame that shows subtle signs of age, the piece gains an added layer of authenticity — imperfections that do not diminish its presence, but rather enhance its character and transform it into a poetic relic.This is a unique, signed work, sealed with professional fixative and matte varnish, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.The framed work measures approximately 21 × 29 cmArtist BioDelia Zorzoliu is a Certified Professional Visual Artist by i-CAC (France), Certificate No. 025/3853, valid until June 2028.She is officially registered in the European Index of Rated Artists, confirming her recognized professional status and eligibility for acquisition by both public and private collections.She also holds the Professional Art Certificate (Peintre Artiste Professionnel), which attests to her active and validated artistic practice, based on national and international exhibitions, art catalog publications, and inclusion in institutional collections.Delia Zorzoliu is a multidisciplinary artist whose work has been featured in numerous exhibitions across the UK, including at The Holy Art Gallery (London), Fox Yard Studio (Suffolk), Fronteer Gallery (Sheffield), and Open Gallery (Halifax).Her visual narratives blend symbolism, memory, and cultural heritage, often drawing on Romanian ethnographic motifs.She has held several solo exhibitions in Romania with shows dedicated to themes of neolithic cultures, ancestral memory, femininity, and silence.Her most recent solo projects include collections exhibited at heritage museums and contemporary art spaces.She has received multiple distinctions for her artistic achievements, including a Diploma of Excellence awarded by the City Hall of Dr?g?ne?ti-Olt (2024) and the Olt County Council (2022), as well as a Diploma of Merit from the International Center for Art, Romania (2021).Her works appear in several art catalogs such as 101 Contemporary Artists and More (Georgia, 2024 & 2025), In Solitude (UK), and Queer Art (Tbilisi).Delia’s creations are held in both public collections (Olt County Museum, Ion Minulescu County Library, Boian Plain Museum) and private collections in the UK, France, Romania, and the US.She is also the author of several illustrated books, combining her talents in both visual and literary arts.
