Eszter Varga (born 1996, Szombathely, Hungary) is a ultra-contemporary sculptor and painter based in Montreal, Canada. Working primarily with 3D prints and oil paintings on canvas. Eszter Varga is best known for merging 3D technology with traditional media to explore the transformation of the soul into visual form.
The artist’s work centers on the theme of soul evolution. Their 3D models, referred to as “soul skeletons,” are created digitally and then completed through painting, reflecting different stages of personal growth and experience. These pieces are characterized by the contrast between black and white tones and by layered, interwoven forms. The compositions evoke an X-ray-like transparency, revealing moments of inner transformation.
From 2022 to 2024, Eszter Varga’s travels across Canada, the USA, and England marked an important period of artistic development, expanding both their perspective and creative direction.
