Gabriela Vanga studied at the University of Art and Design in Cluj, Romania, and at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Nantes, France, graduating in 2002. She was invited to participate at Le Pavillon / Palais de Tokyo, laboratoire de création, Paris, in 2002-2003.
Gabriela Vanga works with various mediums including photography, video, sculpture and installations to explore the boundaries between reality and fiction through the concepts of space and time. In pursuit of the unreal and dubious over the tangible and incontestable, she incorporates optical illusions in her practice.
