Artist: Oliver Hibert




Eye catching, colorful, bold, fantastic and at most times psychedelic

FO: who or what influenced this project?

OH: I've been quite inspired lately by all things dark and dangerous, touching
on reptiles, mythology and symbolism which is represented here with the
theme of the iconic Ouroboros. This piece is in connection with my recent
and current works of having the feel of a "bad trip", which is a bit of a
change for me because most of my previous work has been considered as a
"groovy trip". The psych colors and feeling will always be a big inspiration
for me but I've been intrested in playing with and mixing those colors and
feel with darker imagery and concepts.

FO: what were you reading/listening to/watching while developing this project?

OH: I don't watch a lot of TV these days, mostly movies from netflix, but not
while working.. I pretty much just crank up the tunes while making art. I
can't seem to stop listening to 60's psych-revival music from the 80's,
bands like The Revolving Paint Dream, Rain Parade, The Dukes of
Stratosphear, The 3 'O Clock, and even a little Siouxsie Sioux to name a
few.

FO: whose work is currently on your radar?

OH: Well, I like many different artists ranging in different styles for a lot
of different reasons, many current and some that have long past. Though,
currently I've been getting more and more into Egyptian art and
Hieroglyphics.
