Olga Sokal with Kominek Gallery (Booth C49) at Paris Photo 2025
During Paris Photo at Grand Palais, photographer & director Olga Sokal is presenting 60x70cm archival prints from The Pink Motel, and a limited edition sketchbook from the project at Kominek Gallery (Booth C49), featuring images drawings from our recent production together. Olga has spent years working behind the scenes as a visual architect for some of Hollywood’s top directors, trained by master production designers in color and paint. For Paris Photo, she’s opening up a more personal side of her process, pages pulled from the sketchbooks where drawing and photography meet.

Olga Sokal is a Polish-born visual artist who divides her time between London, New York, and Los Angeles. After completing her studies at CalArts in 2017, she ventured into both film and fine art, navigating a distinctive career that merges these creative fields. While Sokal has worked on high-profile collaborations with directors like Jordan Peele, Henry Selick, and Genndy Tartakovsky, her artistic exploration transcends the commercial sphere.
Her work has garnered recognition, with shortlisting for prestigious grants such as the Vevey Biennale in Switzerland and the Mast Foundation Grant, marking her increasing prominence in the contemporary art scene. In 2020, she received the Michael Redman Project Grant, which she used to develop a book project slated for publication by FW Books in 2025, designed by Hans Gremmen.
Sokal's art is known for challenging boundaries, exploring themes such as identity, human connection, and the convergence of diverse worlds. Through her gallery exhibitions, she has cultivated a reputation for creating profound and evocative works that deeply engage a global audience. Her work continues to evolve, reflecting her unique perspective and expanding influence in the art world.
