Olga Grinblat: Photographs of the Poetic

Driven by a desire to find and describe beauty within her camera lens, Ukrainian-born artist Olga Grinblat creates photographs that arrest the inherent poetry of the world around us. Whether focusing on natural wonders, still lifes or more abstract themes, Grinblat distills a vivid exquisiteness from her subjects. A sensitive, careful eye for minutiae is evident in these works, as subtle details converge and mingle with bright colors and elegant angles. Seeing her subject, the artist imagines her composition before closing her camera’s shutter and capturing her image. Her passionate expertise with her medium is evident in her embrace of clear edges and highly saturated tones. Endeavoring to tell a story in her photographs, Grinblat incorporates narrative elements in her compositions which imbue her works with mystery and intrigue. “I believe that photography can be a whole story of a single moment, which will never be the same again,” she explains. Grinblat travels the globe in search of her subjects, photographing the unexpected or the unexplained with breathtaking verve and accuracy.
