Work
Krauze works in diversity of mediums and materials including painting, sculpture and installation art. Her recent body of work has been leaning towards installations of painted planes and metal frames as in her Exhibition Huellas y Trayectos/ Traces and Trajectories at the Museo de Arte Moderno, 2010. Although early in her career she focused more in pictorial production, later in her career her art is fairly non-representational. Aesthetically Krauze draws heavily on minimalism moving from painting to three-dimensional forms. Erasure, memory, and silence are themes visible in her process playing construction against deconstruction.
