Olga Ornata

I am a unit of the world, a part of the mosaic, fractal in a huge endless system. I`m investigating my inner world: images, remembrances, projections of the environment, ideas, reflections trying to understand the system in general.

I`m searching for contact between the inner and the outward worlds, attempt to understand the reality and myself in it. As a human being, as a person, as a woman, as a small part of the big whole. It is no coincidence that philosophy once became a part of the art. This helps me transform the world into metaphors, translate into my language and make communication possible.

Yes, communication, art is communication. An Esperanto-like universal language, prone to thousands of interpretations, but common for diverse cultures.

And art is my way to remake, structure, understand, passing existnce which is full of entropy and chaos. It helps me to restore my entirety.
