In her latest work for the evn collection, artist Paulina Semkowicz transforms the stairwell of a 1960s office building into a vibrant stage for color, movement, and illusion. Drawing inspiration from the functionalist grid of the EVN headquarters in Maria Enzersdorf, she adopts the motif of structure—only to playfully distort and reimagine it.

Created using traditional materials—ink and pigment on cardboard—and digitally translated into wallpaper, the piece spans all seven floors of the building. What unfolds is a dynamic visual experience: each level features its own distinct color world and energy.

With a background in scenic painting, Semkowicz masterfully manipulates light, depth, and transparency, creating an immersive atmosphere that blurs the line between surface and space.

This book captures an artistic intervention that challenges architectural order and invites viewers into a world of poetic illusion and imagination.
