Rebecca Olsen

Rebecca Olsen is an American visual artist who was born in Florence, Italy. She currently lives there and works as an artist and director of the SRISA School of Art. Olsen’s work is abstract and closely tied to a geometry inspired by the city and its forms. Her process involves endlessly editing, reworking, and layering images. When Rebecca draws, paints, or prints, she reflects on how to transpose layers so that they ultimately appear in the finished print. These layers thus give the print a sense of spatial depth, while also offering insights into the story of its creation. When printing, Rebecca Olsen works exclusively in monoprint, a medium that satisfies both her need for spontaneity and her love of experimentation.
