ABOUT ME
The works of designer Valéria Fazekas cast a light on the permeability between the various fields of fine and applied arts, and the correlations between functionality and pure aesthetics, decorativeness and sculpture. Her most recent works - headwear objects - reflect perfectly her convictions as a designer: her hats are simultaneously apparel accessories and objects, pieces that possess an emphatic sculptural quality. By her own admission, her artistic work is imbued with an inclination for Constructivism directed toward elementary geometric spatial forms. Variability, movement and playfulness play just as important a role in her objects as the dynamic balance between symmetry and asymmetry. In accordance with her experimental temperament, she is interested in the association of diverse materials, colours and textures, as well as the dynamism of structures. Consequently, in some of her works, the structure built up of basic forms is paired with an intentional perspective of multiple views, while others comprise an interplay between the pure forms and colours with the surfaces.Xénia Golub art historian
Fazekas is renowned for her unique approach to both art and life. Following her studies at the Hungarian Academy of Crafts and Design (1987), her early work focused on leather and wearable objects of all shapes and sizes, before turning the language of head wear into her speciality. Her diverse use of materials, textures and colours is coupled with a signature style of multi-dimensional perspetive: allowing her simple geometric forms to be considered from varied possibilities.Jade Niklai Blood Mountain Foundation
Fazekas Valéria kalapjai éppen úgy használati tárgyak, mint amennyire szobrok, viselhető képzőművészeti munkák, plasztikus filozófiai alkotások.Trencsényi Zoltán Népszabadság Magazin
Dekorativ, originell und vielfach auch variabel tragbar sind die Hüte von Valéria Fazekas. Manche weisen zudem eine skulpturale Qualität auf und hinterfragen humorvoll die Grenzen zwischen angewandten und freien Künsten. Die Textildesignerin aus Budapest liebt den Konstruktivismus “in Richtung elementarer räumlicher Formen”, sagt sie. Doch weisen ihre limitierten Editionen, manchmal in knallig gefärbtem Kaninchenfell mit witzigen Dellen, Beulen, Knubbeln und anderen Auswüchsen, auch organische und kubistische Züge auf. Bei ihren Unikaten mixt Valéria Fazekas mit experimentellem Temperament Materialen, Farben und Texturen.Art Aurea (DE)

Kalap-szobrai egyaránt látszanak szerénynek és nagyvonalúnak, alig észrevehetőnek és kackiásan rátartinak; természetük a mélyben valóban egyesíti ezeket a tulajdonságokat.Kovalovszky Márta Kalap-szobrok (kiállításkatalógus)
