Member of the Month: Olga Komisarova

Deep empathy as a reaction to the world around us is what the author’s works reflect. Endless admiration for life in all its manifestations, sadness from the destructive power of human activity, war plunges into a sense of the absurdity of what is happening and pain. Creating works for Olga is a way of reflection and self-therapy, but they also talk about the problems of our planet.

Olga admires natural wood textures, she can spend hours looking at stones and lichens. It is probably not surprising that in working with enamel she became interested in contemporary techniques, as they give her the opportunity to create amazing textures. She also likes strange natural forms, which often inspires her to look for her own shapes and lines. In her works, she also uses chasing to create volumetric elements, works with soldering tin and silver, experiments with enamel on electroforming, sometimes uses plastic, artificial hair, fur in her works.
