Charmaine Olivia is an artist based in South California who uses primarily paint to express her colorful visions. Her paintings utilize an expansive color pallet, and typically feature women’s faces in some way. In her works, she explores themes of beauty and the mind. Her images evoke strong whimsical vibes – visions of ethereal planes and beings communicated in fluid stokes, with various hidden details.
She combines realism and abstract aspects into her paintings. Her subjects are a varied blend of beautiful women, and communicate her passion for women and their strength. Her non-painting illustrations are similarly wonderful in their color pallet and imaginative composition. A great deal of her work is then placed within intricate frames and displayed. Her works are typically very large as well – her work times are spaced into hours of labor for each session. This being said, she produces a great amount of work. She works typically in oils, but the medium she paints onto differs depending on the meaning of the work she is producing, the general emotions she hopes to convey with the finished piece. As a very talented artist, she also tends to merely practice her skills on different media. The most inspirational aspect of her work is its constant evolution – despite maintaining a constant theme and cohesive feel behind her work, it is constantly changing and improving alongside its artist.
