Saturated Spaces presents a new body of work by artist Olga Ermol, originally from Ukraine, based between Lisbon and Florence. The exhibition brings together threaded canvases and sculptural loops that speak emotion through colour, rhythm, and form. Each work acts as an open emotional space — a mirror for memory and reflection. The work doesn’t ask to be understood but to be felt. “What you see depends on where you’ve been.”

 

Originally sparked by a study of Luis Barragán’s emotional architecture, Saturated Spaces evolved into a personal exploration of how colour shapes emotion and atmosphere — how it can hold calm or tension, nostalgia or excitement. Ermol’s threaded artworks, influenced by Latin American Modernism, combine her love of art and architectural form — balancing intuition with structure.

 

Each piece is created slowly, through repetition and focus — a meditative process of finding balance between chaos and order. It is a personal response to an increasingly overstimulated world. The works are not fixed narratives but living environments — places for the viewer to enter and feel.

 

The exhibition also features Nomadic Loops, sculptural extensions of her fibre practice made with Portuguese Churra Badana wool. These pieces extend her exploration of transformation and belonging, reflecting a life shaped by movement between places and states of being. Each loop becomes a portal — a moment of change suspended in space, tactile and alive.
