Zoja Trofimiuk immigrated to Australia in 1984 with her husband and son and established her art studio in Melbourne. She specialises in cast glass and bronze, her sculptures are inspired by the human figure.

'My Art is my Statement'

'Volume, Space, Reality and Time within a historical perspective are concepts that have inspired my art. The human figure appeals to me as an adequate form for expressing these ideas. Working with glass has given me the opportunity to stretch boundaries of these concepts to new limits, as well as offering me the joyful experience of playing with colour.'
