BODY I (2024) Sculpture by Aleksandra Krasnopolska

I am Aleksandra Krasnopolska, a contemporary artist from Odessa, Ukraine. Before turning to sculpture, I worked as an architect and interior designer. However, my path to sculpture was neither planned nor intentional—it emerged from a deep inner need rather than a professional aspiration.

When I first took clay into my hands, I never thought of becoming a sculptor. Working with it was, above all, a form of art therapy—a way to navigate a profound internal crisis. Sculpting became a meditative practice, a moment when I could let go, allowing my hands to move intuitively without attachment to the final result. The soft, flowing, biomorphic lines that appeared in my work were never pre-designed or sketched—they were born in the moment, in the flow.

My mind quieted, thoughts dissolved, and I became fully immersed in the act of shaping form. For me, it was never about the outcome—it was about the feeling, the presence, the synchronization of body and mind in the creative process.

Over time, my relationship with sculpture evolved. What began as a deeply personal and almost intimate practice grew into something much greater—an independent artistic language of its own. Yet, the essence of my process remains unchanged: it is still intuitive, organic, and rooted in sensory perception. Each of my works carries a trace of that original impulse—the desire to feel, to connect, to transform inner experience into form.
