In the world of contemporary art, where experimentation and innovation are often sought after, Daniel Olivier manages to stand out with an approach that is both classic and deeply introspective.

This canvas, measuring 81 x 65 cm, crafted in oil and amber, plunges viewers into an emotional journey linking the early steps of the Dutch artist to his tragic end in Auvers-sur-Oise.
