Karolina Woolf is a London-based artist with Czech origins. She was a permanent faculty member at Charles University in Prague for 14 years, where she conducted lectures on the Theory of Art, Sculpture and Ceramics, prior to launching her own body of work.

 Karolina’s work is driven by what moves her intuitively; she delves into the affinity existing between herself and her subjects. The artist draws a parallel between deep emotion and its expression through the human body, by transforming her observations and feelings into three-dimensional works of art.

Throughout her work, the artist pursues a thread of contradictions. Central to her work and embedded within her subjects, is the tension between movement as vitality, and inertia as resistance. The study of traditional masculine and feminine roles and the power struggles within these constraints are ever-present in her subject matter. The artist circles themes that confront the relationship between the interchangeable roles of captor and captive.
