Dorota Karolewska - born 1993. Graduate of the Department of Graphic Arts at the University of the Arts in Poznań (MA, 2019). She works with artistic textiles, embroidery and intaglio printing techniques. She has participated in many national and international exhibitions. Based in Poznań, Poland.
Experimenting with form, technique and matter is for me the main attraction in the creative process.
I am interested in decomposition and deformation, which can lead to redefinition, as well as fluidity
and repetition in calligraphy, as well as the delicacy and elusiveness of forms. In my previous projects feminist motives refer to the perception of women through the lens of externality. This led me to the current fascination with the relationship between corporeality and the emotional sphere as well as eroticism as a result of emotional needs. I am open to creative dialogues in the form of partner cooperation with other artists.
