A Swirl of a Time

The Swirls Series is a small segment stemming from the larger Diaphanous Series and as the title suggests, the central circular pattern conveys a sense of completeness and resolution that is most satiating. Olazo's father used to construct pin-wheels for him to play with, that seized the contracting and expanding rays of light; one can see the magical childhood influence of this in the paintings. The Swirls Series is a variation of the nuclear Diaphanous Series within Olazo's oeuvre, and it portrays a resoundingly playful, jovial and altogether harmonious collection of paintings that capture the alluring characteristics of colour and light in a spectacularly uplifting fashion.
