My name is Olga Oreshyna and I would like to introduce myself as a Canadian emerging artist who is deeply passionate about woodworking. The source of my inspiration comes from abandoned pieces of wood. In my imagination I give them a second chance of the life. All wood for my works were already used before. I hope this is my small contribution to green building. Rather than cutting down trees to get the needed material, reusing wood is just as good if not better. This is my way of making a difference, at the same time I’m sharing a positive message on how we can recycle and reuse in creative ways. My artworks reflect my contribution to make our fragile environment more healthy and beautiful. So much plastic, metal, concrete surround us in our everyday life. Creating these amazing wooden structures I feel huge energy coming over my hands.

Celebrating Earth Day. Eco Art/ Sustainable Design

Earth Day is a very special day specifically designed for all of us to think about our planet’s issues. It is not only a special day in the town where we live, but a day that the whole world participates in! Let’s celebrate it together with eco-art and sustainable design!

Eco-friendly wooden wall sculpture for Earth Day — Solo Art Exhibition at Ajax ON Town Hall, March 19 – April 23, 2020

The unique wall-hanging sculptures, eco art and sustainable design made entirely from recycled wood, were designed and created to inspire the audience to see things in a different way and to share a positive message on how we can reuse and recycle in creative way. Recycling is the future, our mother Earth has limited resources and we have to learn how to REuse, REcycle and Reduce our materials and products consumption in order to decrease our footprint.

I do some ‘non-traditional art’, made from recycled wood that has been abandoned by industries. There is a great pleasure in giving the wood a second life. In my belief, wood retains the spirit of the living tree and I just try to honour it. Much of my inspiration comes from the wood itself. Collecting wood simply for its natural beauty is the start of many of my works. Old wood has scratches, cracks, knots and other imperfections that are similar to real life. Every piece of wood is like a person, with its unique character, challenges and strengths.

I was honoured to present at the SOFA Chicago Art Fair, showcasing our latest sculptural work.

Olga Oreshyna Wooden Masterpieces

“When my husband and I were conducting renovations in our living room in newly bought house 10 years ago I discovered what most people try to find their entire lives – my true meaning and purpose. Our project consisted of a wall filled with small wooden chunks assembled into a playful mosaic, which turned out to be a true masterpiece. And I suddenly realized I can’t stop doing this. I absolutely fall in love with wood. I just transformed it in smaller pieces which could be easily moved around and could be hanged in any other walls. Ever since that moment…”

Feng Shui Design. Details Matter.

Feng Shui-inspired wood wall art by Woodblocks Design — “Rhapsody” 30″x30″

At Woodblocks Design, we create more than just visual beauty — we craft intention. Our Feng Shui wall art is designed to harmonize your environment by integrating natural materials, thoughtful geometry, and emotional resonance. Each piece supports the energy flow (chi) of your space while elevating your interior style.

In Feng Shui, every object in your environment influences energy. Wall art plays a powerful role — it’s not just decoration, but a visual affirmation of balance, inspiration, and flow.
Wood, in particular, represents growth, flexibility, and new beginnings — a perfect element to infuse into your living space through wall sculptures.

Feng Shui revolves around five elemental energies. Here’s how our art connects to each one:

🌳 Wood – Present in our materials: raw edges, natural grain, and organic forms symbolize growth and creativity.
🔥 Fire – Represented in sharp angles or warm tones, fire stimulates passion and transformation.
🌍 Earth – Our textures ground and stabilize a space, perfect for achieving calm and security.
🛠️ Metal – Clean lines or subtle metallic accents bring clarity, focus, and discipline.
💧 Water – Flowing curves and deep hues offer emotional depth, calmness, and intuitive energy.
