« Wandering through an installation by Wela one imagines oneself in a Gogol novel, as the unreal becomes real! It is not some kind of technique made to fool us, but an ingenious artistic device. »
Ileana Cornea, Critic of art, Paris, september 2001
“My approach is born of a reflection on the visual and psychological impact of the artwork, given the subjectivity of the viewer. I invite the viewer to play with his own perception, to discover the interaction of multiple components, to discover, through metaphors, the multi-meaning of the work.” Wela, Paris, 2001

walls, six metres high and four metres in diameter, inside which the artist has drawn
