Harmony and disharmony; dynamics and statics; order and disorder, black and white...; these are the constant contrasts that artis develops in her work.
Bozena Kaluga's artwork is quite diverse, encompassing fiber art, sculpture, and mixed media.
The beginning of everything in her artistic work was the fiber art, over the years the experiments moved to other artistic media. Her works are constantly evolving, their technical specifications change, but the purity of their medium remains unchanged, because it comes from the main medium, the fiber art, which evolves in a different way of transmission.
Her work is known for its intricate details and the way it explores the relationship between nature and human experience. Her use of natural materials and organic forms creates a unique visual language that resonates deeply with viewers.
Her works not only reflect her artistic vision, but also her commitment to expanding the boundaries of the influence of textile art on sculpture, drawing and other media.
Here we can see the incredible and unique consequences of the artist's creative process, where currently the aesthetic issues of line and texture are seamlessly intertwined.
Kaluga approaches each of her projects with indescribable precision and patience, where the main challenge for her is to obtain something new and inspiring that will push the artist to further action.
Bozena’s extensive portfolio is evidence of her ability to respond intelligently to her own exploration of new areas of interpretation of contemporary art expressing herself through abstraction, which, she believes, gives the artist and the viewer the freedom to understand and interpret the work of art.
Educated in Poland, including a Master of Arts in Textiles and Sculpture from the Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz in 1985, she has been working in London since 2001. An interdisciplinary artist, Bozena has honed her craft over decades, creating works that seamlessly combine traditional techniques with contemporary themes.
Having exhibited her work in numerous galleries and art fairs, Bozena has established herself as a significant figure in the contemporary art scene thanks to her unique style and the potential value of her works.
Her work has been exhibited internationally on numerous occasions and won awards at textile art field like; the Gold Medal at Jugend Gestalted, Munich, Germany (1987); First Prize at the International Textilkunst Betonac-Prijs, Belgium (1988); First Prize at “Best of 2009- sculpture Marizart Galerie, Germany; and the Main Prize at 2018 London International Creative Competition UK (2019).
