oliver jordan
Oliver Jordan is a German painter who lives and works in Cologne, Essen and Brittany.
Jordan studied at the Art Academy of Düsseldorf and at the Free International University (FIU). From a young age he developed a particularly keen interest in the realist and expressive tradition of painting, which he reinterpreted in a completely unique way. The impasto technique in which Jordán works gives his paintings a sensual character both in terms of surface structure and color. Jordan gives his paintings a powerful and masterful treatment, creating multi-layered objects, at the same time an amazing visual impression of illusion.
He has created many portraits of famous contemporaries, but in addition to portraiture and landscape, Jordán also depicts cities, creating entire cycles. Jordan has been studying Albert Camus and his texts through painting for over 30 years, he follows Camus' footsteps in the Algerian city of Tipasa, creating mesmerizing landscapes.
