About VGCosta

 
 
  • Biography
    Virginia Garcia Costa is an Argentinian artist based in Switzerland. Virginia produces wall sculptures inspired by elements of nature. The way Virginia arranges her materials into what looks like a surface of drips or water flow makes her wall sculptures' style truly unique. Her colourful series is inspired by light and vibrant colors as a way of immersing oneself in joy and hope. When viewed slightly askance, the perpendicular lines give the piece a fresh sense of three-dimensionality. Public and private collectors in Europe, UK, the US, Canada, Asia and Middle East have bought her work.
