About Olga Ermol:

“I have begun painting at the age of 9, when by accident I stumbled into a small art studio inside a Soviet music school in Kiev, Ukraine, where I grew up. My guitar lessons didn’t pick up but the art teacher who would then become a close friend instilled a love for art.

Setting off for university in the UK I went for a more “practical” degree in Graphic Design, yet always coming back to oil painting. Having studied Graphic Design and later Interior and Product Design in Milan it was always a kind of a personal mission to marry my two passions: living space and art.

Having predominantly used oil paints throughout my creative career, upon moving to Florence in 2015, I ventured into a three dimensional art form –  sculpture, taking classes at one of the oldest sculpting studios in Europe, Galleria Romanelli where afterwards my works have been exhibited.

Throughout this journey I always had an inner determination of making visual art my sole focus, but never felt that I was quite there yet, as if some pieces of the puzzle were still missing. The feeling continued until I began creating abstract art using thread on canvas.

Having started the threaded-abstract art direction in 2020, my work has thus far been commissioned across the world, including Los Angeles, New York and London. From my two recent exhibitions in Florence, majority of the pieces have been sold and I am continuously working on developing new body of works.”
