KRUS
KRUS ( aka Sofia Cruz) is a portuguese multi-disciplinary artist passionate about creating objects, paintings and murals.
KRUS applies painting to different materials and surfaces.
Creation is the release of emotional and the celebration of the color is the way to transmit sensations to the people.
What is common in all her work is how deeply influenced she is by all elements that exist in nature and are part of her creative universe.
All pieces are unique and made by hand in studio KRUS in Lisbon, Portugal.
