Olga Schäfer

The spirited artist sees herself as a citizen of the planet earth and a lover of nature. For her, art is a means of expression to visually represent her thoughts, visions and views. Topics that affect her personally are processed through art and presented to the public. Olga Schäfer is not afraid to pillory the problems of this world. She wants to make herself heard with her paintings, installations and performances. Her art should touch the viewer deeply and encourage reflection. The artist experiments with various tools and materials and often incorporates recycled materials into her works.

Olga Schäfer is internationally active as an artist. Her artworks have been shown in Colombia, Spain, Italy, France, the Netherlands, USA, Egypt and Germany.
