ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I am inspired by the opulent luxury of Art Deco, which was prominent in the art of the 1920s and 30s, as well as the rhythmic trends of the 1950s and 60s. These periods transformed people, objects, natural motifs, and abstract squares into equal units, giving them an industrial character. This piece is part of my latest solo exhibition of textile paintings titled "A Collection of Modular Sweets." It comprises seventeen new works created using the tufting technique. Sweets and sweetness are at the core of my artistic narrative. Sweetness is the story - it's the essence of my work. By isolating sweetness from the everyday flow of life, it becomes concentrated and somewhat exaggerated. Sweetness delicately merges with the soft wool fringes and vibrant colors. My artistic concepts and forms emerge when I hold a strand of woolen yarn in my hands. The material itself guides me and tells me what to create.

Silja Pogule is a Latvian contemporary artist specializing in textiles and painting. Her artistic journey began during her formative years, influenced by the ever-changing colors of Latvia's landscape and her grandmother's expertise in textile craft. She holds a Master's degree in Painting from the Art Academy of Latvia, having previously studied textile art at the Estonian Academy of Arts and the Riga School of Design and Art. Pogule’s art is distinguished by its vibrant colors and abstract forms, gracefully marrying painting and textiles into a harmonious whole. Silja Pogule has held ten solo exhibitions featuring her paintings and textile works, participated in numerous group exhibitions across Europe, and received scholarships to create exchange projects between Sweden and Latvia, as well as Norway and Latvia. Actively involved in the conceptual art group “LN Women’s League Project,” Pogule uses staged photography, performances, and discussions to explore women's self-image and social roles. Having worked nearly two decades as a freelance graphic designer, Pogule’s artistic practice is deeply influenced by the principles of design. The vibrant color palettes, crisp graphic shapes, and meticulous attention to detail prevalent in her textile works all reflect her design background. This unique fusion allows her to create textile art that is not only visually striking but also meticulously crafted, blending the worlds of fine art and design seamlessly. Pogule's art is held in private collections worldwide, including the USA, Canada, Singapore, Brazil, the Netherlands, the UK, Ireland, Belgium, France, Germany, and Sweden.
