“Watercolour is the language of my feelings and thoughts, of the way I see the world,” says the Ukrainian-born artist Olha Baklan.


“Wherever I am, I look for a connection of stories that have not yet happened or have happened in the past. These signs, symbols and traces are as pervasive as the water that carries my pigment and the paper that receives it.


“My experiments with watercolour seek to show the magical nature of the technique. It is important for me to retain the whiteness and freshness of the paper, leaving room for as-yet-unseen signs.”
