Olaf Folta

Olaf Folta, born and raised in Germany, is a traditionally trained oil painter in the style of modern realism. He studied Fine Art Figurative Painting at the Academy of Art in San Francisco after his relocation to the United States and currently resides in Los Angeles, California.

Since his studies Olaf has adopted a more contemporary mixed media approach to his work, which allows for better expression of his ideas. His most recent body of work 'Modern Alchemy' is part of his Consumer Art Series: A collection of collages, created from consumer products, is a commentary on modern man in the 21st century, and his psychological and sociological process.
