Critical Review:
…T.Cataraga is a complex artist. We see him working in the way those from 1900 worked, sometimes, being almost a surrealist, an abstractionist, in the way of those from the 60-70 years till now. He also paints, in his sculpture one sees a continuous oscillation among archetypal old forms and forms more or less modern…
