Event: Identità Invisibili (Invisible Identities)
Dates: 6 Apr 2024 - 20 Apr 2024
The show explored themes of absence, loss, and cultural memory — particularly focusing on artworks that were looted or destroyed during the Second World War and remain missing today.
Organized as part of the course Theory and History of Representation at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, the exhibition invited participating artists to reflect on the fragile nature of identity — both personal and collective — in contexts shaped by violence, displacement, and historical erasure.
Each artist responded to the curatorial theme through their own visual language, using diverse media ranging from figuration to abstraction. My contribution was an investigation into the blurred boundaries between presence and disappearance, informed by my ongoing interest in ephemeral perception and the traces of memory.
The exhibition offered a space to honor what has been lost — not just materially, but emotionally and culturally — and to consider how art can hold space for that absence.
Biography
Hi, I’m Olga — a visual artist based in Milan. My work explores subtle, shifting states of perception. I’m interested in those moments when familiar scenes begin to dissolve — when forms blur, and attention slips into something quieter and more felt than understood.
I paint with acrylics, often letting the material flow and mix freely. I start from everyday subjects — a room, a plant, a fragment of memory — and allow the image to emerge slowly, sometimes disappearing just as it takes shape. My work often balances between figuration and abstraction, where what’s seen is less important than what’s sensed.
