FANTASY OF ANIMALS
This planet is wonderful, and so is the wildlife that lives with it. Olivier’s
drawings are ecological imaginations of fantastic animals, their physiology
and ecosystem inter-connections. You can see more of his wonderful work

Olivier is a multi award-winning
artist who has been creating surreal
imaginative drawings exploring
ecology, biology and nature since
2013. He’s inspired by his curiosity
of the world and the universe.
‘This planet is home to a wonderful
variety of living organisms that are
each individual in their biology and
behaviour. They form large webs of
connections amongst one another
in ecosystems that are vast and
complex; from whale migrations
that encompass the entire globe,
to ants that scurry along the forest
floor. We all witness the intricacy
and beauty of life on Earth.
Earth, the tiny little planet that
we inhabit somewhere in the
unfathomable depths of the
universe.’
The drawings are made using fine
liner pens (0.03 - 0.8mm). The
animals are imagined as living
planets or landmasses, with their
own landscapes and ecosystems.
