OVSKA
Collage & Prints
Lives and works in Berlin, Germany
Berlin-based Polish artist OVSKA combines paper cuts of different ages, shapes, and structures including recycled materials to create unique abstract compositions. By memorizing excitement, closeness, touch and scents she chooses those fragile scraps of material reality and connects them with appreciation until the universal meaning suddenly emerges from the flat surface.
STATEMENT
“I observe...
to see
to appreciate
to remember
to create
to feel good.
When looking at my work, I hope you feel good and come away with positive feelings. It’s important for me that you feel the same way I did when making this work.” - OVSKA
