Commission Olympio to create a custom made artwork based on this artwork
Olympio, a prominent figurative abstract artist from Togo, creates artwork that is driven by an unapologetic sense of instinct. Olympio’s work is honest and palpable: exposed, raw, and direct. Through a bold use of color and texture, Olympio creates dynamic, multi-layered works that demand the viewer's attention. His work is an unfiltered manifestation of his soul. Bright, energetic marks encircle rough textures balanced by the peaceful compositions emanating from below the surface.This 30-inch square mixed-media painting is signed by Olympio on the back of the canvas. The many layers in his work further emphasize the texture and visceral nature of his canvases. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable U.S. and global shipping.

Olympio creates abstract and figurative compositions shaped by movement, rhythm, and instinctive expression. Working intuitively, the artist defines his work as the expression of his energy. His written marks become part of the painting itself, moving between gesture, sound, and visual language. Each piece is both everything and nothing; as simple as a heartbeat, as complex as a hurricane.
