OLA LAB

Barcelona
seed program

OLA LAB is a space for sharing. They exhibit artists that inspire, to observe and observe theirselves. Their purpose is to promote an art space to make artists known and to spread art. Art is communication, it is emotion, a composition that the artist builds (with the stomach most of the time) and that connects (with the stomach most of the time too) with the other producing another emotion. Self-knowledge never ends, it is learning, continuous curiosity, it is always evolving. GALERIA OLA aims to be a space open to all people who want to stop in the city, a space to observe, and ultimately observe themselves. GALERIA OLA to stop, observe and enjoy.

Critical Heart, a dialogue between works with a political message, vital tension and a dose of irony.

Elena Garrigolas (1998, in Girona) graduated in Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona.

An artist who observes head-on  the relationships, beliefs and taboos that shape human behaviour.

Ernesto Crespo (1994, Cuba). Studied at the Academia de Bellas Artes San Alejandro, Havana.

His work is a very sensitive response to the world around him, mainly to nature and human feelings.
