Oliver Myrie

Oliver Myrie was born in Jamaica in 1978. Initially focused on realism, Oliver counts his love for nature, the sea and colorful images as his earliest of influences . Oliver desires that his work be an intimate affair – not only viewed from a distance but engaged with. Individuals are invited to touch his paintings, experiencing the movement and texture of the paint on the canvas, feeling the emotion embodied in each piece and interpreting its messages based on their own life experiences.

His paintings have layers of texture, color and movement that define his style.
