Almira Olmayan (Turkey, Istanbul, 1950). He lives and works between Istanbul and Barcelona. Almira Olmayán tells us that her CV is her works and that her works only exist when we look at them. Her work is based on a position highly committed to the political and social problems of her country, which is not conducive to a woman’s creative development. The most used materials are steel and iron cables, horsehair, steel wool and glass.

«When an artist, expresses through his heteronyms, that is to say, personalities created and thought like others, alludes surely at that true emotion at a true expression of what talks Pessoa when says: feign is to know oneself.
Multiple and varied should be the motifs that motivated at Marga Ximenez, at creating his heteronyms. Parallel transits that permitted her a game that the identity prison does not permit». (Of the text “Plural like the universo”, of Nora Ancarola.)
