Anna Wywiał.

An architect by education, an artist by
passion from Łódź, creating her own reliefs made
of jute fabric.

Art has always played a key role in my life. I paid
most attention to works related to materials and
textures. Looking at the works of Jagoda Buić, a
Yugoslav artist who creates, among others, monumental installations made of tapestries or Magdalena Abakanowicz, I came to the conclusion that working with fabrics gives me a huge opportunity to express my emotions. I appreciate the fabric
for its rawness, large format and, above all, for the
structure it offers.

My fascination with materials is undoubtedly influenced by the city I come from.

Łódź, once famous for its thriving spinning industry, gave me a ready-made idea in which direction
my artistic activities should go.
Numerous visits to museums and a
trip to Mexico, during which I encountered
ethnic works made of string, assured me that
fabric is the raw material I want to work with.

Nature also has a huge influence on my work.
I strive for my art to always somehow refer to
the harmony that nature offers us. I want
them to evoke a feeling of peace and encourage simple reflections on life.

Hence, I chose jute fabric. Original, raw and at
the same time warm material due to its color.
Fully natural, but at the same time allowing
for some modifications.

I would like to invite you to my unique world of
jute reliefs. I hope that it will be a good, pleasant journey, full of inspiration and, like me, you will become convinced that jute fabric is a truly unique raw material in its simplicity.
