Welcome!
My name is Louis Olivencia
and I was born in the United States, New York City. Thank you for visiting
this web page. We have collected a group of paintings that can best
represent Louis Olivencia as an artist. Together with parallel activities,
fabric design, fashion, and visual merchandizing were all formed between
two prestigious art schools: Art & Design and the Parsons School of
Design. In 1977 I moved to Berlin, Germany where I worked in the fashion
world, as a costume designer for the late director Fassbinder. Sometime
after, I move to Italy, first Florence then Ferrara which is my home base
currently. I work with gouache and gold pigment powders, to achieve the
translucency. A harmony which cioncides with the contemporary. "Olivencia
reveals an extremely original style: composition becomes more tightly
organized, colours are vivid intensified by form, light envelopes the
figures defining shapes, and enhancing, imposing tone! The quest for
fullness in shape in geometric style, is all a part of this artist.
Impassioned, constant study makes this artist refined, new in it's intence
illustrative fervour; indisputably, the figure dominates all else. The
creative vigour is never hidden, to be admired."
