Gyárfás Oláh (b. 1975, Miercurea-Ciuc) is a visual artist mainly working with organic materials. His archaic, hybrid sculptures open up a transitional space between different worlds, societies and eras. He is also inspired by his background in fashion design, which is reflected in some of his works evoking garments or utilizing recycled fibers from the fashion industry. Besides using old textiles to (re)create ghosts from the past or mythology, he creates his own composites and experiments with form and representation. Referencing a variety of resources, from traditions, myths, classical art or Japanese culture, his works possess the quality of appealing to the collective imagination.
