Viorel Florin Costea (DadaVFC)
Viorel Florin Costea, also known as Dada VFC, is a Dizzy bard, a wild dreamer, a clumsy alchemist, and a tenacious Dadaist. He enjoys creating traditional mixed media collages, beginning with an elaborate sketch and progressing to a final version on cardboard, plastic panel, or wood.
As an artist, he believes that what you will learn about him will help you understand the significance of collage and mixed media experiments in his life!
Viorel Florin Costea lives in Moinesti, Romania (in the province of Moldavia), which is also known internationally as Dada City due to the presence of a monumental monument dedicated to Tristan Tzara (who was born here in 1896) and the Dada movement!

View allGenerally, I prefer to work on a wooden panel but I also have pieces of art made on canvas or on cardboard; I use acrylic paint, wax crayons, charcoal, colored pencils, colored markers and sprays (also with acrylic paint), different kind of papers (as textures, depth, smoothness, etc.), fabric with a lot of trims, different kind of images (from old/new magazines, encyclopedias, books, albums, etc.), old/new pictures/postcards, scrap metal, coins, leather, different strings and so on.
I imagine that I succeed to reinvent mixed media collage, to add a new way and new procedures in this very special art technique !
I'm very glad to show to all of you what I've made! Be welcome on my online gallery! Hope you'll enjoy my artworks, my galleries...

dadavfc's personal exhibition
Moinești, Romania
My first personal exhibition in Romania, in my town - at the opening I had more than 50 people, that is an amazing thing for such a small city like Moinesti. I've received a lot of congratulations, it seems that all my artworks was very appreciated by the public, wow! this was an awesome pleasure for me, the humble author! More than that, at the opening was present some representatives from the Romanian Union of the Plastic Artists that considered my artworks very provocative, a good example of the mixed media collage technique! It was a great event and I hope that the exhibition will be visited in this month by a large amount of art lovers...
