Olga de Amaral — wool and horsehair
Olga de Amaral

wool and horsehair

Olga de Amaral's untitled work in wool and horsehair showcases the Colombian artist's masterful approach to textile as fine art, weaving together organic materials into a richly layered surface. The interplay between the soft, pliable wool and the coarser, more rigid horsehair creates a dynamic tension of texture and form. This piece reflects de Amaral's lifelong exploration of pre-Columbian weaving traditions, transformed through her singular artistic vision into something both ancient and strikingly contemporary.
