About the Item
Olympio creates abstract compositions that reflect his internal rhythms, resulting in bold, expressive paintings. Working intuitively, the artist defines his work as his own personal language—an unspoken expression of his soul. Each piece is both everything and nothing; as simple as a heartbeat, as complex as a hurricane. Born in Lomé, Togo, the self-taught West-African artist spent time in Paris before moving to the United States. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles, California.
Work by Olympio has been widely exhibited around the world at museums including: the Latino Art Museum in Pomona, CA; Chiba City Museum of Art in Chiba, Japan; and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art in Tokyo, Japan. In 2018, he was listed as one of the top ten artists at Art Basel Miami by Red Dot Miami. Interviews with the artist have been featured on France 2, TV5MONDE, and BBC. Olympio is one of sixty people from across the world selected to be exhibited in “Out of the Fire,” the 14th edition of the Dakar Biennale, one of Africa’s oldest and largest exhibitions of contemporary art in Dakar, Senegal.
"Abstracted Series Untitled Ocean Blue Black" is an original acrylic and oil on canvas.

Olympio
Olympio was born and raised in Togo, West Africa, into a large family of eight children. As far back as he can remember, he has been creating art. His first works were sculptures made from building scraps and found objects. He later transitioned to acrylic and oil on canvas. In 2001, Olympio left his home in Africa to live in Paris. He then came to the US in 2003, and currently lives in Los Angeles, California. Olympio’s work continues to be shown internationally, as well as in the US. His works have been exhibited at Art Basel Miami, where in 2018, he was ranked one of the Top 10 Artists at Art Basel Miami by Red Dot Miami. He was also recently interviewed for France 2, TV5Monde and the BBC. Painting, for Olympio, is fearlessly following a feeling, an instinct. It is discovering the internal balance of a piece and recognizing beauty when it is unveiled, a happy accident. His work is honest and palpable. It is exposed, raw and uncompromisingly direct. His work is rough and energetic, yet balanced by peace and stillness that emanate from below the surface of each piece. Olympio’s work is an unfiltered expression of his soul that manifests in a language of its own. It is that language, a common thread spoken throughout his work. Each piece captures its moment in time. For Olympio, there is no hidden story or elusive meaning behind each painting. It’s just a piece: it is everything and nothing. It is as simple as a heartbeat, as complex as a hurricane.

- The Causeway, Original Abstract Seascape Painting, Blackwater Estuary in EssexLocated in Deddington, GBInspired by 'Osea Island', an idyllic haven basking serenely on the Blackwater Estuary in Essex. It is approximately 380 acres in size and is connected to the north bank of the river by a Roman causeway, covered at high water. The tranquil surroundings led me to create this painting to capture the deep moody blues and greens of the water and the orange ochres of the rugged sand dunes. I've use a painterly application with expressive linear marks in oil pastels to create movement and interest. Artwork by Luana Asiata...Category
