Kinga Földi graduated in 2006 from the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, where she studied textile design. She works at the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary sculpture, having experimented with traditional textile techniques for many years. She found her primary artistic medium in pié stitching, developing a unique technique that allows her to create freestanding, sculptural forms from pié-structured textile. Through her ongoing experimentation with materials and techniques, she has transformed this decorative stitching into a distinctive method of form-making.
„Textiles are my natural mother tongue, and my sculptures are stories woven in this language: a tactile dialogue where natural forms and human emotions come into context. I draw deeply from the rhythms and patterns of the natural world, but my works actually speak to the complexity of human emotions and create connections that go beyond visual or tactile experiences. My sculptures invite the viewer into a shared space where memories surface, emotions resonate, and quiet processes of recognition take place.”
„For me, art is a bridge: a way to connect us through our shared struggles and joys. I hope my works will start conversations and evoke memories and emotions in the viewer.
Each of my works contains an invitation: to touch, to feel, to remember, and to connect. Through this sensory and emotional dialogue, I wish to remind us of the common threads that connect us all.”
