About this artwork
The “Vertical Absorption” series is more spiritual in character due to the propensity for ascension, for verticality. I have tried to render the metaphysical side – the isolation in empty spaces – of the manifestations of the psychic or the unpredictable in reality. Stripes and fragments rise to higher planes.It is all about a correspondence between the telluric and the celestial, the physical and psychical decomposition that is dissolved, absorbed…
into the infinite. I have always wondered what happens to all the information and memories we store or inherit with the collective unconscious after our physic existence ceases. Gustav Jung says that “any comprehension and all that is comprehended is in itself of psychic nature and in this regard we are captive in an exclusively psychic world”. The trough is, in my work, a kind of reservoir resembling the subconscious, from where deeply rooted fragments, traditions and abstractions spring and are immediately absorbed into vertical ascension.

« My work is an ode to chaos and reconstruction, to re-composition, to the reduction of everything to a recycled playground. »
Torony is an emerging Romanian artist who finds artistic inspiration in many of life's details: Books, songs, lyrics, conversations with friends, and her immediate environment - particularly the waste she has observed in the face of urban growth. Her paintings are a fusion of gestural abstraction, surreal scenes, and concrete objects and shapes.
