Μέσου τα μάτια του Ερουίν Όλαφ
Thru the eyes of Erwin Olaf
Thru the eyes of Erwin Olaf
Erwin Olaf , born in 1959 in Hilversum, The Netherlands, has a passionate love affair with life, and fully enjoys everything that it has to offer.
An ever-rising photographer, his work constantly garners new attention, and maintains the respect of his loyal fans. His ‘oeuvre’ is a manifestation of his incredible passion and genuine engagement with subjects. Olaf has been professionally active for over twenty-five years, and in this period he has succeeded in evolving from a participating photographer to a director who creates his own reality.
Olaf’s pictures are filled with humor, imagination and exuberance, but they go much further than simple visual intrigue. His work broach ideas and visions of freedom, beauty, loneliness, and being different. He convinces his public in a shameless and versatile manner, questioning established norms. Olaf consistently expresses his own standpoints, fulminating against narrow-mindedness, smugness, and rigid norms, but not without humor, bravura and bite.
Erwin Olaf brings his incisive wit and vision to create a satirical portrait of our contemporary consumer society. Visually sophisticated and conceptually provocative, his images challenge global trends towards youth-obsession hypocrisy, violence, hyper-consumerism and social control.
