Silvia Krupinska working on The Seed
in St Joahnn in der Haide, Austria.
Silvia Krupinska was born in Poprad, Slovak Republic in 1980 and very early on she made sure her love of art and the determination to pursue an artistic career were clear and evident to everyone. From her first canvas board made by her parents using an old cabinet board and linen to the beginning of her arts education at a local arts school after her day classes, Silvia's evolution and clarity of purpose were notable and unequivocal.
The move to London followed at eighteen and in that city (where Silvia since then resides) her artistic education continued its steady progress with a Pre-Foundation course taken at The Institute in Hampstead, culminating with her Foundation course and BA (Honours) Degree in Painting—Fine Art awarded by the University of the Arts, London—Chelsea School of Art and Design in 2006.
Silvia's artworks have been part of group shows taking place at venues such as the Rich Mix Cultural Centre, Oxo Gallery or Triangle Space in London. She has also been given commissions for special arts projects including the Two Minute Painting Project Film (London, 2009), international arts symposium Land Art (Lafnitztal, Austria, 2006) and EU–Art–Network symposium in Linz—European Capital of Culture 2009, Austria. The latter culminated with exhibitions in Eisenstadt and in Venice as part of the 2009 Bienalle.
