Pamela

Pamela

Olin

Art

At the heart of Pamela Olin’s work lies profound curiosity. As an artist who specializes in formative art, the elements of her work include metal, wood, resin, paint, found objects and space itself.

Pamela’s artistic practice is a constant exploration of the intersection between raw material, human emotions, and the infinite possibilities that arise when craftsmanship interacts with imagination.

She believes art evokes emotion, sparks reflection, and connects people across experiences. Pamela’s pieces serve as vessels of narrative, inviting viewers to explore their own emotions and the balance between strength and vulnerability.
