Klaudia Kampa & Eva Krusche
Elements of life
Klaudia Kampa, (1968, born in Poland, lives and works in Esch-sur-Azette) emmigrated to Germany with her parents at the age of two, before moving to Luxembourg when she was 17 years old. Shortly after her arrival as a teenager, she attended the Lycée des Arts et Metiers, deciding early in life to pursue an artistic career. In the early nineties, she moved to England, where she lived and worked until December 2025. Nevertheless, she never lost her connection to Luxembourg, as she illustrated numerous children's books in collaboration with Luxembourgish renowned author Guy Rewenig. In her work, the artist brings together elements of architecture and design. She is particularly interested in the tactile properties of materials and the textures of surfaces. Her collages are multidimensional, a combination of sculpture and painting. Each piece is carefully structured and technically complex.
Furthermore, she works with geometric shapes that can be assembled like a puzzle to form a single piece, while the individual elements can also be rearranged to create new compositions. Her work incorporates various materials, particularly wood, plastic and cardboard. The artist draws inspiration from the sculptures of Joan Miró and Niki de Saint Phalle, but she has also been strongly influenced by the works of Frank Stella and the Cobra movement. In July 2026, Kampas' works will be on display for the first time since 2013 in Luxembourg, at VGalerie in Dudelange.

Eva Krusche, born in Schongau in 1985, lives and works as a painter and illustrator in Augsburg, Germany. In her artistic practice, Eva explores interpersonal relationships and group dynamics. Part of her artistic interest involves exploring themes of belonging and, at times, isolation, as well as the conflicting emotions that can arise out of these dynamics. However, her compositions are fictional spaces rather than depictions of specific situations or events; she focuses entirely on making social interactions visible. Furthermore, her work specifically addresses the portrayal of women beyond traditional stereotypes. The female figures in her paintings are independent, confident and assertive.
