Olivier
Michels

Deeply informed by studies in Ethnology, my practice is a study of how cultures materialize identity — specifically through the symbolism of masks and sculpture. I aim to reveal the shared geometry between the man-made and the natural, whether documenting the sharp lines of architecture or the rhythmic anatomy of insects and plants. My work merges the precision of minimalist photography with the intricate detail of fine-line drawing — black pigment liner on white paper, constructing symmetric compositions that evolve from basic geometric foundations into organic forms.
