Olga Burkard is a Swiss-Mexican visual artist based in Geneva, whose work resides in the realm of contemporary abstraction and hybrid art. Her artistic proposal unfolds as a bridge between the digital and the physical, exploring the rhythms of nature, perception, and the interconnection of living systems through a visual language that weaves together structure and emotion.
Her style is the fruit of a rich multicultural heritage and a solid academic foundation. Born in Mexico City, where she studied Graphic Design at the Universidad Iberoamericana, and later trained at the Basel School of Design in Switzerland, Burkard fuses the chromatic vitality of her Mexican roots with the technical precision and rigor of the Swiss school. This duality manifests in compositions where geometric and organic forms coexist in harmony, creating visual ecosystems that invite reflection on our place within the rhythm of existence.
Following a successful international career in graphic design and art direction, Burkard made the definitive leap into the fine arts, consolidating a practice renowned for its ability to integrate digital tools and traditional pictorial techniques as complementary media. Her work has been exhibited and disseminated internationally, with a presence in galleries and exhibitions across Switzerland and the United States. It is characterized by a constant search for “beauty in the hidden order,” employing repetition and transformation to breathe life into immersive textures and atmospheres.
As an international jury member for the tARTget Prize 2026, Olga Burkard will lend her expert vision to evaluate the works for the FUSION TARTGET, the award dedicated to abstraction, conceptual art, and collage. Her experience in integrating new technologies and her sensitivity to capturing the essence of the intangible will be essential in identifying those artists who challenge the boundaries of visual expression and succeed in conveying contemporary concepts with clarity, technical audacity, and emotional depth.
