About Her Art
Perla Krauze uses many different ways to make art. She creates paintings, sculptures, and art installations. An installation is a type of art that uses a whole space or room.
Recently, she has been making art installations. These often use painted flat pieces and metal frames. You could see this in her show called "Huellas y Trayectos" (Traces and Trajectories) at the Museum of Modern Art in 2010.
When she first started, she painted more pictures. But now, her art usually doesn't show real objects or people. She likes a style called minimalism. This style uses simple shapes and colors. She moved from painting to making 3D art. Her art often explores ideas like memory, silence, and things disappearing. She likes to build and then take apart art pieces.
