"Aniela Ovadiuc's series of white Limoges porcelain spheres probes both the spiritual and conceptual-artistic dimensions of light. They reveal a kind of exploration of consciousness as an artistic concern and remind us of the role of ceramics as a preferred medium for expressing people's feelings, ideas and considerations over the centuries, constituting a fine indicator of the state of society from ancient civilizations to the present day. Aniela Ovadiuc harmoniously and with remarkable visual effect combines traditional and contemporary elements in her ceramic installations, taking artistic discourse and decorative art to a sophisticated level of plastic exercise while demonstrating an astonishing ability to convey complex epic structures. All the more so, the ceramic whiteness that gives the sensation of weightlessness, that invokes tabula rasa and offers us the promise of a new beginning, freed from all previous karma, tells stories deciphered through light, through vision, through the artist's creative universe. Of course, the texture of these spheres can also lead us to think of water in its solid state (ice, snow), creating a warm-cold tension, but then turquoise comes into the balance of thermal perception, referring to oceans and seas, summer. "Through the light" is thus a subtly immersive exhibition-installation by an artist whose plastic vision relies on a synaesthetic aesthetic." (Ana Daniela Sultana)
