Matjuska Teja Krasek is a freelance artist who lives and works in Ljubljana, Slovenia. After finishing high school, she studied ethnology and Slovenian at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Ljubljana. She holds a B.A. degree in painting from Arthouse - College for Visual Arts, Ljubljana.
Through her art Matjuska Teja Krasek wishes to convey her experiences and feelings connected with the research results of different disciplines to all who are, regardless of their basic professions, interested in exploring the way our world and Nature operate. Krasek’s theoretical as well as practical work is especially focused on symmetry as a linking concept between art and science and on filling a plane with geometrical shapes, especially those constituting Penrose tilings (rhombs, kites, and darts). The author's interest is focused on the shapes' inner relations, on the relations between the shapes, and between them and a regular pentagon. Her artworks, among others, illustrate certain properties such as golden mean relations, selfsimilarity, fivefold symmetry, the Fibonacci sequence, inward infinity, and perceptual ambiguity. Krašek’s work concentrates on melding art, science, mathematics, and technology. She employs contemporary computer technology as well as classical painting techniques. Her artworks and articles are exhibited and published internationally. | |
