Art collages are available on the CreativeMindClass Blog
The other day, I discovered Olga sharing Instagram posts about my childhood neighborhood. In the middle of Warsaw's urban jungle is a less-known and revered green zone. I would visit it in the summer to stare at beautiful old pine trees and take a breath of nature within my urban airways. In her account, Olga visited this area on her first trip, however she was also captivated by one of the oldest backyards of Warsaw. It is my bet she will create an inspired Boernerowo painting.
We talked to Olga what she uses as the basis for designing her minimalist collages as well as paintings of human-shaped landscapes
"My Name is Olga Szczechowska, and I'm living in Warsaw. Since the age of a youngster, I've been painting and drawing often. I attended an art school in high school. I also took classes in painting and Cultural Studies at the University of Nicolaus Copernicus in Torun.
I'm an illustrator, painter, and sometimes graphic designer. In my practice, I focus on the relationship between humans and nature, paying close attention to how we influence the environment in our backyards. When I look at hedges that have been trimmed, decorative plants, and carefully designed gardens for homes I'm capturing the strange nature of our immediate surroundings."
"For several years I have created minimalist collages. These collages were in the form of landscapes and still-life, or were developed as a result from experiments with shapes, textures as well as colours.
My style is heterogeneous because painting and collages differ in many ways, however they do have something that is common to both: they calm. I have heard this term from my audience many times and believe that is the best description of my art. When I'm tired of drawing, I do collages. The reverse is also true. One style is a temporary escape from the other.
I believe that being aware is essential. I pay attention to everything around me: the environment, architecture and objects. The result is my work. Through my work, you are not able to see the person, but you get the feeling of human presence in trimmed hedges or in a cup left at the end of the dining table."
