West University of Timișoara- Faculty of Arts and Design

In 2025, the Faculty of Arts and Design at the West University of Timișoara showcases the visual explorations of its students, master's students, and doctoral candidates, positioned at the intersection of various creative media such as drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, object-installation, video art, animation, and digital illustration. Celebrating 35 years since its re-establishment after the institutional hiatus of the 1980s, the Faculty of Arts and Design continues a dynamic process of growth and adaptation. Its experimental roots can be traced back to the alternative artistic pedagogy practices initiated by professors such as the members of the Sigma group (Constantin Flondor and Doru Tulcan), as well as the cultural echoes of landmark events from the 1990s, such as StudentFest and the Zona festival, organized by professor Ileana Pintilie. Timișoara’s spirit of experimentalism is carried forward by the creative energy of new generations—students and professors, who actively contribute to the development of local artistic and cultural education.
