Olga de Amaral — Fragmento 15
Olga de Amaral

Fragmento 15

Olga de Amaral's *Fragmento 15* is a luminous textile work crafted from linen coated in gesso and acrylic, culminating in the application of radiant gold leaf. The interplay of matte and reflective surfaces creates a rich, tactile depth that shifts subtly with changing light. Rooted in de Amaral's Colombian heritage and her ongoing exploration of material transformation, the work bridges ancient craft traditions with a distinctly contemporary visual language.
