Mark Olivari
Artist’s Statement
Mark Olivari creates images that flow through him with an energy all their own. It is only after his creations are on a surface that he realizes the “why” and “how” his energy has materialized. Cymatics, the study of sound wave phenomena and its virtual representations, and Fibonacci, the garden ratio of sequences in nature, are the basics of much of Olivari’s work.
Biography
