Doru Covrig

Doru Covrig is a French sculptor of Romanian origin, known for his conceptual and experimental approach. Inspired by Constantin Brâncuși and Giuseppe Penone, Doru Covrig explores essential themes such as man as the measure of all things, the symbolism of archetypal forms, the relationship between man and space, and criticism of totalitarian regimes. He worked with a wide range of materials—from bronze and wood to cardboard, bread, sponge, and plastic. His style moves between synthetic figuration and arte povera. Settled in France out of a desire to escape the constraints of the Romanian regime, Doru Covrig rediscovered his creative freedom and exhibits internationally – from the Venice Biennale (Italy) to exhibitions in England, Germany, and the Netherlands, as well as beyond Europe, in America and East Asia, including Japan.
