Artist Bio: Eya Ozerova Los Angeles based artist, born in the Ukraine. She holds an MFA degree from the Stroganoff University of Applied Arts and Design in Moscow, where she developed a new textile art technology she calls "non-woven felted tapestry" on which she wrote a book “Pictorial Felt” (AST PRESS 2009)
Eya is the winner of the 2009 competition titled “Drawing the Court” (exhibition in Central House of Artist, Moscow) for the felted tapestry “Freedom” a portrait of Russian political prisoner Mikhail Khodorkovsky which she sketched during a series of the courtroom trials. Eya participated in more than twenty personal and group exhibitions including group show "Drawing the court" at Checkpoint Charlie Museum in Berlin. Eya works in different media but her passion is needle felted large tapestries.
Since 2009 Eya gives lots of workshops all around the world. She teaches her felting technique and provides healing art retreats and private healing art sessions. She believes that felting art with her special guidance helps people to relieve stress and trauma and transform their lives for better.
In 2020 she starts making thematic collective art events and sessions bringing people together and making one art piece for all, while focusing on one intention - harmony and peace within.
In 2020 when Ukrainian conflict happened she started Ukrainian Mandala Project gathering people together to creat one collective artwork while wishing peace in Ukraine.
Artist Statement: I believe craft can serve as a means to collectively contemplate. Through collage, we construct a whole. In my collective art workshops the participants, representing diverse cultures, converge here on American soil, unified in our shared culture now—American.
Collective work is the exploration and synthesis of many unknowns. We always gather with a unified intention: to create a new version of reality—a world where there is no war, where our friends do not fall ill or suffer. For example, this piece, "Good News," was created by fifteen friends of Natasha, who was battling cancer. It is a marvelous collage of the kind energies of fifteen individualities united by a singular desire—Natasha's recovery.
The piece "Awakening" I created long before, and it was the seed of what I have come to now. In it, a collage of felt pieces is overlaid on a painterly space moving upward towards light, symbolizing the transformation of the material into the spiritual—Human Awakening to their higher self (infinite being).
The medium of non-woven felted tapestry for me is a combination of complexity of fine art and simplicity of fork art. It helps me to talk about the effortlessness of simple moment in its infinite nature of being.
