Presentation of the artist:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Born in Moldova, Daria Elas immigrated at a young age to Tiohti\u00e0:ke (Montreal). She first pursued university studies in psychology before turning to visual and media arts. A graduate of the Universit\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec \u00e0 Montr\u00e9al (UQAM), she was awarded the Faculty of Arts Fund Scholarship (2021) and a Research and Creation Grant from the Canada Council for the Arts (2024). In recent years, her work has been presented in several group exhibitions, notably at Centre Clark, Place des Arts, Galerie de l\u2019UQAM, Espace Transmission, and the Jardins Racine Art Centre. Alongside her artistic practice, Daria is currently completing a graduate diploma at HEC Montr\u00e9al and is actively involved in organizations such as the Service artistique du sous-sol (SAS) cooperative. In the coming year, she will take part in Pr\u00e9sences, a project presented at Caravans\u00e9rail (Rimouski, QC), as well as a residency at Centre Sagamie (Alma, QC).<\/p>\n

Daria\u2019s multidisciplinary practice weaves together ceramics, textiles, video, and 3D animation to create environments where perception becomes experience. She explores how material can embody sensitivity, and how form, light, and texture shape an affective space. For over a year, she has been deepening her research on the luminous translucency of porcelain, envisioning light as the inner breath of matter. This exploration has led to a first series of light sculptures, including fleur des murs <\/em>(Wallflower), where functionality and introspection converge in a single poetic gesture.<\/p>\n
