Olivier Dubois-Cherrier was born in 1963 in Orléans, France. He lives and works in Miami, U.S.A..
Those 20 past years, he used to reside in various places, such as, Guadeloupe (F.W.I.), Barcelona (Spain), and Santo Domingo (Dominican Republic).


He paints the stages of adult life, along with his conceptions of the world, his states of mind, his desires, his love. Olivier Dubois-Cherrier was not initiated in painting at an early age, despite of expressing an authentic natural talent for drawing. Even though it is true that some members of his tribe excelled as artists. His trajectory resembled that of a child inculcated with the moral values of work and purpose. He was pushed away from what could otherwise have been his original course.
His mission accomplished, he became a Man, he analyzed and put aside these “moral values”; he learned how to paint. In the end, his work as an artist represents in a way his genesis, his source. He painted to liberate himself from demons of every kind. Today, freed from his past and his history, he presents the series of works “The possibility of an island”: a logical step in the continuity of “Rejected by the sea”…
The birth of a new Man? No doubt. An unrestrained interview with the artist, unbridled, and about to set sail.
