“BODY IV” candle holder (2025) Design von Aleksandra Krasnopolska

Aleksandra Krasnopolska is a contemporary artist from Odesa, Ukraine. Before turning to sculpture, she worked as an architect and interior designer. Her journey into sculpture was neither planned nor driven by professional ambition—it arose from a deep inner need.

When she first took clay into her hands, Aleksandra didn’t intend to become a sculptor. Working with the material was, above all, a form of art therapy—a way to navigate a profound internal crisis. Sculpting became a meditative practice, a moment of release, where her hands moved intuitively, unbound by any attachment to the final result. The soft, flowing, biomorphic lines in her work were never pre-designed or sketched; they emerged spontaneously, in a state of flow.

As she sculpted, her mind would quiet, thoughts would dissolve, and she became fully immersed in the act of shaping form. For Aleksandra, the creative process was never about the outcome—it was about presence, feeling, and the synchrony between body and mind.

Over time, her relationship with sculpture evolved. What began as a deeply personal and intimate practice gradually developed into an independent artistic language. Yet the essence of her process remains unchanged: it is intuitive, organic, and grounded in sensory perception. Each of her works carries a trace of that original impulse—the need to feel, to connect, and to translate inner experience into form.
