olivier zappelli was born in april 2, 1966 lausanne, switzerland, where he studied painting and drawing for many years.

the painter lives and works in his studio in fribourg, switzerland

after the completion of his studies, he traveled extensively throughout haiti, india and norway, exploring the art and religion of those diverse parts of the world.
he has participated in exhibitions in switzerland, italy and usa.

olivier zappelli's works range from the surrealistic to the fancifully photorealistic, in images replete with religious iconography and unwonted, colourful mutations of nature and the organic world.

winged humans, gargoyle-esque beasts, and intensely vivid forms of shells and sea-life are some of the subjects of olivier zappelli paintings. these creatures and creations are perhaps relics of an unknown, occult chapter of hallowed history, or perhaps the inhabitants of a chimerical, futuristic world of altered nature and re-defined symbolisms.
in spectacularly bright hues and mysterious iconographies, olivie zappelli presents a world of fantasy and discovery, enchanting scenes depicting the strange and the sacrosanct.
