"Bloom #7" is a mesmerizing minimalistic artwork that showcases the transformative power of recycled materials. Crafted from abundant paper scraps from previous projects, it breathes new life into discarded resources.
Each delicate circular shape, resembling broken eggshells, undergoes a meticulous process using paper pulp. Carefully shaped and left to dry, the circles acquire a shell-like texture, radiating elegance and resilience. On the front side of the circles, Olga applies matte acrylic ultramarine paint, contrasting with the luxurious liquid gold leaf on the reverse side. This juxtaposition of bright colors against the textured surface evokes a sense of renewal and growth, symbolizing nature's blooming beauty.
The circles are arranged in three rows, symbolizing growth, renewal, and the passage of time. Elevated with foam stickers, they cast graceful shadows and create subtle plays of light, making each "petal" appear as if it is levitating. Mounted on a wood panel base, the artwork is protected from UV rays and environmental elements by an acrylic box, which adds a modern touch to the piece.
"Bloom #7" is a testament to the beauty of transformation, where discarded materials are reborn into a harmonious and elegant composition.
