Artwork from my latest exhibition Warp Tool: In older times when people used stationary phones, on which to dial you had to turn the numbers with a wheel, next to the phone was a piece of paper and a pen for notes, but usually when in a conversation, they were used for scribbling unconsciously. Rarely in these scribblings you could see specific forms, sometimes even something abstract. In my opinion it is a research worthy phenomenon, which nearly all of humanity has done. Working as a graphic designer, often between jobs, for example, while waiting for an answer from the client, in the program Adobe Illustrator, I drew some circle and not thinking much I deformed it with the “warp” tool. Continued to do it similarly to the older days when talking on the phone and scribbling on paper. Drew more circles and again deformed them, began to put them together, and as a result I had made an ornament, which did not have a real use in graphic design. When I began making carpets with the tufting technique, I remembered these unconsciously created drawings, and they finally had a use in a completely different medium – textile design. Returning to my first profession – textile arts, I have evolved a long cherished project, making specially soft wool carpets with the tufting technique. This technique differs from the general textile techniques, with the fact that it uses a special tool to shoot fringes through a fabric, therefore creating the intended design. With this technique it is possible to achieve different heights of the fringes (100% wool), which creates a 3D Effect. www.siljapo.com Silja Pogule

Silja Pogule is a Latvian contemporary artist specializing in textiles and painting. Her artistic journey began during her formative years, influenced by the ever-changing colors of Latvia's landscape and her grandmother's expertise in textile craft. She holds a Master's degree in Painting from the Art Academy of Latvia, having previously studied textile art at the Estonian Academy of Arts and the Riga School of Design and Art. Pogule’s art is distinguished by its vibrant colors and abstract forms, gracefully marrying painting and textiles into a harmonious whole. Silja Pogule has held ten solo exhibitions featuring her paintings and textile works, participated in numerous group exhibitions across Europe, and received scholarships to create exchange projects between Sweden and Latvia, as well as Norway and Latvia. Actively involved in the conceptual art group “LN Women’s League Project,” Pogule uses staged photography, performances, and discussions to explore women's self-image and social roles. Having worked nearly two decades as a freelance graphic designer, Pogule’s artistic practice is deeply influenced by the principles of design. The vibrant color palettes, crisp graphic shapes, and meticulous attention to detail prevalent in her textile works all reflect her design background. This unique fusion allows her to create textile art that is not only visually striking but also meticulously crafted, blending the worlds of fine art and design seamlessly. Pogule's art is held in private collections worldwide, including the USA, Canada, Singapore, Brazil, the Netherlands, the UK, Ireland, Belgium, France, Germany, and Sweden.
