“I have no purely established roots, I do not belong to well defined race, and I am
forced to fit as being a part of a whole. The experiment, the movement, the change,
and the nomadism are at the same time my assets and my weaknesses.” says Olivier
D. To paint the sand, the sea, their border is the only means that this 46-year-old
self-taught artist has found to fix the limits of his world. He is in search of these limits
to understand who he is. The thickness and the strength of its colors tell, with its
several coats of paint, the moods of the human being confronted with the diverse
stages of his life. Just as Nicolas de Staël, his diverse interventions on the canvas risk
at any time to upset the precarious balance which he has already painted earlier.
It is from the deepest part of his being, sometimes tapped, sometimes
excited from which is born Olivier D’s work. An intimate, immodest and
without concession painting, which approaches the taboo subjects of the
contemporary man faced with his close relations and his spiritual environment.
