Olivier ANICET is a versatile artist—painter, sculptor, and photographer—whose visual identity is deeply inspired by the vibrant colors of the Caribbean and his Arawak cultural heritage. Active since 1996, he uses art as an open window to the world and the universe. His unique and expressive artistic approach, both singular and expressive, aims to capture emotion and evoke profound reactions in the viewer. Each work is a visual exploration where color plays a central role, conveying the richness and complexity of his inspirations.
Olivier Anicet’s inspiration comes from diverse influences, such as the simplicity and complexity of Katsushika Hokusai's compositions, as well as African art, with its sculptures and masks. Primarily working with acrylics and unique pigments, Olivier creates original colors that bring his works to life. His technique, characterized by the use of brush and chalk, stands out with a visual style that is instantly recognizable, particularly in his urban series. Through his art, Olivier Anicet seeks to make a lasting impact on his contemporaries and future generations, opening new artistic pathways and inviting reflection on our shared humanity.
I am delighted to announce that my artworks are now listed on ...
I studied graphic arts, then I worked in an urban music magazine as an illustrator and graphic designer.
I started to exhibit my work in 1997 (a series of characters), and this was followed by Parisian buildings and sculptures.
