Olga Skorokhod is an experienced US artist who formerly worked as an illustrator, graphic designer and painted photorealistic portraits on commission before turning to full-time paper artist. Her works are in Private Collections Worldwide.
When you ask Olga what drew her to become an artist, she simply responds that she has always painted, drew and created something with her own hands since childhood.
Her style, however, has changed significantly over time. After many years of traditional painting, this artist now generally expresses herself through abstract works and is searching for an art form that play with color contrasts and repetition, and showcase strong rhythms between space and shape.
Olga chose paper as the main material for creating her layered sculptures because it blends amazingly with other materials, it’s extremely flexible and has endless ways and techniques of manipulating it. Different paper types and textures provide a tactile sensation and artistic innovation. Olga creates very diverse forms, stunning textures and gives free rein to her imagination.
It is impossible for the artist to predict the final result of one of her works. She explores the different variations that are possible in the composition and plays with the shapes, depth and transitions from light to shadow. Each work is highly textured and often inspired by nature’s fascinating beauty, the depth of the ocean, natural formations and their textures. Olga intends for each viewer to feel an emotional response to her works by sharing through her universe of artistic expression. ~ Olga Skorokhod
