He later worked in the traditional Roman fresco method across churches, theaters, and historic buildings throughout Europe, including projects at the Vatican. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormally trained in carpentry, Varga went on to study furniture design and architecture, earning a Master’s in Architectural Design from the University of Sopron. During this period, his experimentation with plaster evolved into a broader exploration of the material as both a structural and expressive medium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eToday, Varga’s practice spans freestanding contemporary works and immersive architectural installations. Rooted in European craft traditions and shaped by a contemporary architectural sensibility, his work blurs the boundary between object and environment. He is based in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, and creates site-specific installations across the US and internationally.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"COLLECTIBLE DESIGN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53756094972240,"sku":null,"price":21500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/3550\/6074\/files\/8_KALKERIET_PETERVARGA_PENUMBRA05FRONT.jpg?v=1791366856","url":"https:\/\/kalkeriet.com\/products\/peter-varga-penumbra-05","provider":"KALKERIET CONTEMPORARY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
