RESEARCH​

​​

Vlad Pocol’s research focuses on transformation as both a material and emotional process, exploring how movement, displacement, and shifting states of being are made visible through gesture and matter. His practice approaches transformation not as a fixed condition but as a continuous unfolding, where forms emerge, accumulate, dissipate, and reorganize across layered surfaces.

 

Working through painting, installation, and sculptural forms, he constructs visual terrains shaped by repetition, density, and material flow. Gestural intensity, textured layers, and accumulations of pigment or fiber give physical presence to processes of metamorphosis. These surfaces act as traces of transition, echoing emotional states tied to identity, memory, and the search for belonging.

 

Within this framework, Vlad Pocol investigates how experiences and cultural narratives are transmuted into new structures, allowing matter to carry rhythms of movement and vibration. Each work creates a field of flux in which presence shifts, expands, and contracts, inviting sustained contemplation of how identities transform across time and space.
