Olivier Matuti known as one of the leaders of the Librisme revolution, an artistic philosophy developed by a group of young artists in Kinshasa around 1997 is a German trained fine artist. He left his home country The Democratic Republic of Congo around 1998. His workis esthetically African-inspired and is characterised by a great variety of bright colors.
Despite the strong connection with the culture of his homeland that can be easily noted from his often-large-scale paintings, Olivier Matuti also likes to add the influence of the world around him in his artwork, carefully analysing the different values and then interpret them artistically.
