A New Zealander since 1991, French born Olivier Duhamel lives on Waiheke Island with his wife Marie-France and their 3 children.
A self taught hobbyist and long time recreational draughtsman, Olivier Duhamel has been a student of Chrystèle Legardinier (etching on copper plates) and of David Reid (sculptor, founder and alchemist).
His creations do not convey any particular message, do not attempt any conceptual or symbolist exploration, nor do they search to be innovative at all cost. They are rather trying to simply capture the beauty and gracefulness of his subjects of study.
His bronze works are sold in galleries across New Zealand and also in Australia, Belgium, France, Tahiti and China.
