Through her textile sculptures, Linea Matei stages and explores the relationship between the viewer and the art work.
Do You See Me invites you to reflect on who you are and how we see and shape each other. The sculptures, heavy clothed bodies, offer recognition, and encourage humility and empathy.
Her multicultural background, a father from, Romania, and a tornedalian mother from Kiruna, Sweden, has enriched her life and contributed to her quest exploring through art how relations, behaviours and cultural norms affect people and societies.
Linea holds a Master and a Bachelor’s degree from Konstfack University of Art, Craft and Design, and a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design from West London College.
