Cobalt Blue
from the Monostriped Landscape series

Cobalt Blue is a circular textile object developed within the Monostriped Landscape series, exploring rhythm, repetition, and chromatic intensity as a landscape-like structure. Executed using the faux chenille quilt technique, the work builds a dense, tactile surface in which color becomes the primary carrier of meaning. The saturated cobalt blue functions as both material and spatial field, evoking depth, continuity, and immersion rather than representation.

The work was presented in the exhibition Regeneration – Presentation of Contemporary Polish Art and Design, organized as part of the Polish Presidency of the Council of the European Union at the Justus Lipsius Building in Brussels (January–June 2025). Curated by Aleksandra Kędziorek, with architectural design by Katarzyna Baumiller, the exhibition was organized by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute.

Presented within the institutional heart of the European Union, the exhibition carried strong cultural and political significance. Events accompanying the Polish Presidency act as instruments of cultural diplomacy, positioning contemporary art and design as carriers of national values and creative strategies. In this context, Cobalt Blue contributed to a broader narrative framing Polish culture as materially aware, experimentally grounded, and actively engaged in contemporary European discourse.
