Meet the Maker: Olga Guarch

Spanish artist Olga Guarch grew up on the outskirts of Barcelona in Terrassa. Despite dreaming of a career as an artist from a young age it was only recently that she was finally able to pursue her lifelong dream.
Olga now works out of her home studio in Barcelona keeping the history of indigo and its community alive through her painting. A fascinating and eccentric character, Kingpins Shop explores what exactly it was about indigo that changed it all.

We know all too well the power of indigo – we too are indigo obsessed! What was it about it that finally gave you the strength to follow your dreams of becoming an artist?

It must be pretty consuming only working in indigo. How do you stay inspired?

Have you ever tried painting using the dye itself?

The life of an artist no doubt comes with many challenges. What would you say are the things you find most challenging?

I imagine it can also be quite lonely at times. How do you stay connected to other artists?

What’s your earliest childhood memory?
