About the show:
A series of photographs, showcasing dancers from Ballet Taos. A visual poetry capturing the mystery and gentleness of moments in the life of a dancer.
Artist Statement:
In the enchanting world of ballet, every movement tells a story of grace, passion, and profound emotion.
“Whispering Elegance” is a visual journey into the soul of ballet, shaped by the intimate experience of watching my daughter and her peers grow within this art form. Through my lens, I strive to capture not only the physicality of dance but also the inner world of the dancers—their dreams, struggles, and moments of sheer brilliance. There is a demure sense of wonder and appreciation for the expression of human emotion, gently whispering of a future yet to unfold.
The exhibition features a series of carefully curated prints, showcasing dancers from Ballet Taos—a local non-profit organization. As a mother with a daughter dancing at Ballet Taos, I am privileged to experience the art form from an intimate vantage point, witnessing the disciplined beauty firsthand. This unique perspective has profoundly influenced my approach to capturing the subtleties of ballet.
Artists Bio:
Olga Nazarova is a photographer, creative director and a mother of 3, living and working in Taos, New Mexico. For over 16 years she has worked with various fashion houses in New York and Los Angeles including Creative Directing the international denim label THVM Atelier and David Michael.
Today, The Arc, Anewera, on legendary Kit Carson Road, houses her studio and atelier.
Olga was born and raised in Republic of Karelia, Russia. She was sent to U.S boarding school at the age of 15. English being her second language, she used art, fashion and photography to express her deep soul song.
Her work is a passage of time in a single poetic breath, as if the past and the future exist in the here and now.
