Gabriela Lupescu

I work with textile as a living structure-a medium that holds tension, memory, and transformation.
My practice explores the space between control and release:
between the precision of knots and the organic flow of loose fibers.
Each piece emerges as a negotiation between structure and instability , where lines behave like veins, roots or currents moving through a body.
By integrating natural elements such as branches into the woven surface, I extend the work beyond the textile itself, creating a dialogue between crafted form and raw matter. The result is not a fixed composition, but a shifting field where boundaries
dissolve and reconnect.
I am interested in how material can carry traces of becoming -- how
tension, rhythm, and interruption can generate a sense of movement
within stillness.
My works are not objects to be read, but environments to be felt.
