After two years at the Ecole supérieure d’Art of Perpignan (2002 – 2004) and for more than 20
years Oscar Olarte evolves in his own artistic language that privileges drawing and painting
practices.
During his artistic career he went through many different influences from surrealism to
abstraction and expressionism. Now his figuratif paintings tell, with a particular harsh and
dreamlike language, some stories full of symbolisms around the mysteries of Life and Death.
From 2009 to 2011 he mainly exhibited at his own art gallery in Colombia.
He currently lives and works in Paris.
