"Dana Catona - Artist Portrait" / (c) Dana Catona, 2024

Biography

Dana Catona (*1967 in Timișoara, Romania), (she/her), visual artist and poetry writer, of Romanian ethnical background, grew up in Romania, a graduate of Academy of Visual Arts from Cluj-Napoca. Currently senior lecturer at the Faculty of Arts and Design, West University of Timisoara. She is concerned with the connections between the visual and the literary medium and the new paradigms of contemporary ceramics.

A self-portrait as a princess and my dog, an image which is on the cover of my Tic Tac poetry book, scanned imaged, Dana Catona 2024 - (c) Dana Catona, 2024

Artistic disciplines:

Process

Dana Catona works through the gestures of the hands, most often using stoneware or porcelain clay. The forms emerge directly from manual contact with the material, shaped through the pressure of the palms, the rhythm of the fingers, and the gradual accumulation of small movements. Repetition plays an important role in this process, as gestures are reiterated and slightly transformed, allowing the form to develop organically. Rather than constructing the object through rigid planning, she follows the resistance and responsiveness of the clay itself.

Notable themes

Recurring theme in Dana Catona's works is fragility, life and death, childhood memory and childhood feelings. Dana Catona predilection for a certain theme is concentrated towards symbolic forms associated with archaeology, recurring image of the house, letters or the written word seen as a literary but also visual element. In the ceramic works, the preoccupation with small structures and objects is the result of attention to fragility seen as an attribute of vulnerability and to the delicacy of miniature dimensions. There is a preference for minimalism and the specific expressiveness of the small gestures from which the works were derived, but also for a personal space, which she associates with dimensions that can be fully manipulated just by moving the palms. References to the natural world are simultaneously present and absent. While the forms may evoke organic structures or fragments of growth, their representational dimension is intentionally open and largely completed through the viewer’s perception.
