About Her Art
Krauze is known for using a wide variety of materials in her art. She works with everything from paint to metal to create her unique pieces.
What Kind of Art Does She Make?
Early in her career, Krauze focused mostly on painting. Over time, she began to create more sculptures and installations. An installation is a type of art that is designed for a specific space, often filling an entire room.
Much of her art is non-representational. This means it doesn't try to look like a specific person, place, or thing. Instead, her art explores ideas through shapes, colors, and textures. Her style is often connected to Minimalism, an art movement that uses very simple forms.
Key Ideas in Her Work
Krauze's art often explores themes like memory, time, and change. She is interested in how things are built and how they can be taken apart. This process of "construction and deconstruction" makes people think about what is present and what is missing.
For example, in her 2010 exhibition Huellas y Trayectos (which means Traces and Trajectories), she used painted surfaces and metal frames to create large installations that people could walk around and experience.
