Alicja Kozłowska, born in Warsaw, creates and lives in Poland. Fascinated with Pop Art from an early age, she works with textile art. Her passion lies in textile art and handicraft. Starting from crochet, through embroidery, fashion, accessories and ending with artquilt. Her performaces created in public places shows the coherence of art with mass production and consumerism. Kozłowska finds her inspiration in everyday life, trying to popularize fiber art and embroidery.
Kozłowska: ‘My artwork is intimately connected to daily life, social and mass media contexts which in turn have helped define not only the meaning of my artworks but also me as an artist. No artist can control the passage of time, but I do my best to be more mindful of cultural and presentation contexts, and how this process attributes meaning to my artworks. I would like to popularize and change the perception of fabric, which can also become a work of art. Every work requires commitment and patience from me, it is unique, created spontaneously without a specific pattern and in a fit of inspiration. Working with material is my passion. I try to make each of my works unique and stimulate the viewer’s imagination.’
