Colour and shape form the spine of Olga de la Iglesia’s vivid photography
Minimalist elements combined with everyday objects form the backdrop of Olga de la Iglesia’s photography work. Enthused by everything we’ve created around us, she sees the mundane as a tool to create fascinating colourful imagery. “Human eyes see in colour. Through them, we understand reality by interpreting the way light comes down on every object, material, plant or being,” explains Olga. “This process alone is something that’s incredibly inspiring for me.”
