Olivier Blois-Puls, French contemporary self-taught
artist born in 1960 in Paris (France).
I have
always been fascinated and attracted by all forms of creation and its process.
I knew
I wanted to be an artist from a young age and that drawing and painting will be
one of my means of self-expression.
But the
academic art schools didn’t attract me; on the contrary, I wanted to experiment
and cultivate my own imagination free from any outside influences.
My
training is self-taught based on the museums I have visited in Europe and the
United States, Art books and music.
Attracted
by the modern art effervescence, I rushed frequently to the Pompidou center,
the first modern art center in Paris which opened in 1977, getting knowledge
and inspiration.
I
settled in Copenhagen (Denmark) in 1985 and was part of the well-known Danish
animated feature film “Valhalla” (Swan production).
In 1986
I created my own graphic style
called LEITMOTIV
which is inspired of Minimalism and OpArt.
My
figurative and abstract
works are experiments with geometrical forms, colors and technics such as gilding leaf.
In
1999-2000 I was part of a project in Copenhagen, designing the school entrance
of the future.
Over
the past ten years I have been able to fully focus on my art career.
I
create from my studio house near Copenhagen in a green and quiet area, which
provides me with a wonderful creative environment to further develop my work.
