About the Artist
Juan Antonio Olivares (b. 1985, Lima, Peru) is a Peruvian-American artist whose insightful practice spans sculpture, video, and drawing. Based in New York, Olivares creates works that delve into complex themes of identity, displacement, memory, and the nuanced psychological states of the individual. His artistic methodology often involves the use of found objects and everyday materials, which he transforms into evocative forms that carry a quiet, yet profound, emotional resonance. Olivares' narratives frequently blur the boundaries between autobiography and fiction, inviting viewers into introspective spaces where personal histories intersect with broader human experiences. His art is characterized by a subtle aesthetic and a contemplative approach, prompting deep reflection on the subjective nature of reality and belonging.
