"Painting and sculpture intersect in a body of work shaped by Catholic upbringing, queer identity, and an unresolved paternal legacy, each piece carrying a sense of excavation—what’s buried, what lingers, what refuses to settle. Olivier’s forms veer between the symbolic and the visceral, where belief systems and personal memory collide without easy resolution. The result is less confession than confrontation, a practice of sorting through inherited narratives and the emotional residue they leave behind."
