Matthew Olsz

I developed a passion for art at an early age, studying at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago at age eight in 1987 to 1998. Then earning a B.A. in Graphic Design from Columbia College Chicago in 2002 and working as a Graphic Designer, Art Director, Creative Director with Ad Agencies and Design Firms.

A lifelong doodler, my work focuses on the expressive power of abstract lines and the emotional depth of the human face. Drawing inspiration from icons like Basquiat, Picasso, and Ralph Steadman, I explore raw feeling through bold visual language. I currently live and create in South Florida, where I continue to evolve my craft.
