Introduction: Artist Olivier Xavier creates within different disciplines of contemporary arts such as: composing, painting, photography, filming and (text) poetry. After a long journey of self-development, I choose to further evolve my clay concept: Darwinism in Motion. In connection with this, I also want to develop my skills in painting and produce a piece of music with each painting.
Most recent artistic achievement:
Painting of Marilyn Monroe in connection with a song I produced and released in December 2024: The Merry Goes Round
