Olie
Amrita Nambiar is a contemporary artist and designer based in Bangalore. She is the founder and principal creative at Olie, the experimental lighting studio she started in 2019. A graduate of Chitrakala Parishath with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts, Amrita combines artistry and innovation to craft sculptural works that explore the interplay of light, shadow, and emotion. Through her immersive and experiential creations, she evokes a profound sense of wonder, harnessing the transformative power of art to challenge and redefine the role of light as a medium.
Olie crafts intentional and conceptual pieces that seamlessly merge art, design, and craft. With a multi-disciplinary team of twelve, the studio creates deeply reflective light sculptures, each meticulously handcrafted through slow, deliberate processes. These pieces explore the interplay of light and shadow, with a keen interest in how materials can hold feeling, how light can shift perception, and how handwork can translate thought into form - offering quiet yet impactful statements that challenge the ordinary and invoke a sense of wonder.
