Critical Review:
Ion Zderciuc proved to have an imaginative spirit that knows to discover spontaneously and to evaluate the plastic qualities of the materials - stone, wood, iron, marble and some other unsuspected qualities to which he grants an unexpected nobility. The present achievements define an authentic vocation for the interior monumentalism asserted with the same expressive intensity in small and big dimensions.
