Anna Kruhelska, a talented visual artist and practicing architect from Lodz, Poland, merges her expertise in both fields to create captivating artworks. With a background in major architectural projects across Russia, Malaysia, and the UK, Kruhelska's deep understanding of form, symmetry, and space informs her contemporary art practice.
Inspired by minimalism, architectural composition, and geometry, she focuses on abstract, three-dimensional paper and wooden wall reliefs. These pieces reflect light, creating mesmerizing effects that depend on the viewer's perspective. Kruhelska's art revolves around the interplay of light and shade, contrast, color, and repetitive patterns shaped by folds and hollows.
Kruhelska's artwork has been showcased in exhibitions across Italy, Poland, London, Germany, the UK, and the United States, where audiences are invited to engage with her captivating creations that blur the boundaries between architecture and art.
Seamlessly combining her expertise in both fields, Anna Kruhelska, a talented visual artist and practicing architect based in Lodz, Poland, creates captivating works of three-dimensional minimalist modern art. Her contemporary art practice is greatly influenced by her deep understanding of form, symmetry, and space, which she has cultivated through her diverse background working on major architectural projects in Russia, Malaysia, and the UK.
Inspired by minimalism, architectural composition, and geometry Anna Kruhelska focuses on abstract, sculptural paper and wooden wall reliefs that work by reflecting light – with the overall effect depending on the viewer’s perspective. The central concept of her work is the interplay between light and shade, contrast, color, and the repetitive patterns created by the folds and hollows in the work.
Kruhelska says of her process, “My process always starts in front of a computer screen. I use software and tools primarily developed for architecture. I draw shapes and forms and try to find repeating patterns. When I am satisfied with the project, I need to translate 3d models to 2d, so that they can be cut from a flat sheet of paper or plywood. The process of cutting paper is performed by a CNC cutter. Once individual shapes are cut they all need to be folded and glued manually. After hours of folding, gluing, and painting when all the shapes are ready, the whole work can finally be assembled.”
Kruhelska has had numerous exhibitions in Italy, Poland, London, Germany, the UK, and the United States.
