Edith Torony was born in 1988 in Timișoara, where she lives and works.
She graduated in Painting from the Faculty of Arts and Design, West University of Timișoara. She earned her MA in the same field from the same institution in 2012. She has been a member of the Romanian Union of Artists, Timisoara branch, since 2011. She has presented her works in solo shows at Forma Gallery, Deva, in 2019; Pygmalion Gallery in 2018 and Calpe Gallery, in 2014, Timișoara, among others. She has participated in numerous group shows at Triade Gallery and Helios Gallery in Timișoara; Museum of Art, Arad; Museum of Art, Cluj-Napoca; European Parliament, Brussels; Marzia Frozen Gallery, Berlin etc. She has won the first prize for Painting at the Meeting Point International Biennial in Arad in 2017. In 2019 Estopia Art Gallery showcased her solo show, Hybrid Playground, in 2019.
While experimenting at the crossroads between abstract and figurative painting, Edith Torony undertakes a journey in the bizarre universe of urban periphery, in the attempt to allegorically recompose the devastating effects of junk invasion and consumerism on our living space.
