Visual
interpretations
carried out by
Olga Albizu
enter
ideological
planes taking
the surrounding
reality and
translating it
into chromatic
energy and
rhythms. In each
stroke, Albizu
incorporated
unrepeatable
feelings because
each stroke is
an immediate
reaction to real
life situations.
She had a very
peculiar way of
grabbing the
spectator’s
attention,
because she
grants
simultaneous
audiences to
stillness and
movement.
