Victor Roman

Victor Roman was born 1937 in Martinis, in Romania. In the 1950s he left his village to attend the Lycée des Beaux-Arts of Tirgu-Mures and in 1954 he entered the Institut d'Arts Plastiques Nicolae Grigorescu in Bucarest where he realized his first exhibition in 1962.

In 1968, Roman settled down in Bobigny, France and became a French citizen and would stay there until his death in 1995.

He realized several monumental pieces contributing to the city’s architecture (Hôtel de Ville de Bobigny, CES Albert Schweitzer in Creteil, SCIC in Villiers le Bel, Place à Noisy Le Sec).

The statue showcased in Domaine de Terre Blanche entitled „La Reine“ is made of black Belgian marble and was realized back in 1977. It portrays, in a metaphorical way, the objects and the gestures of another civilization, now gone.
