Biography
Galina Stetco was born in 1975 in Moldova. In 2000, she obtained a degree in architecture from the Technical University of Moldova in Chisinau.
She emigrated to Canada in 2003 and as a Canadian artist now lives in the suburbs of Montreal.
Stetco started painting at the age of 10 and became interested in sculpture as a medium in 2013. She uses her background in architecture to create contemporary representations of form that combine both figurative and abstract elements. Her subject matter explores the connection between humans and nature and the individual and society. Stetco’s early experience living in a communist regime and witnessing the fall of the Soviet Union has also profoundly influenced her life and artwork.
Galina Stetco speaks English, French, Romanian, and Russian. Her work can be found in both public and private collections in Canada, the U.S., Saudi Arabia, Moldova, Italy, Switzerland, and Egypt.
