Olivares works in digital animation, sound sculpture and drawing to create psychologically charged environments that merge nature and technology. Mining impulses that reflect our deeply embedded fears and desires, Olivares abstracts them through digital interfaces. His work explores humanity through constantly evolving forms of image making, connecting viewers beyond an immediate time and place.

Olivares has exhibited in venues such as: Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Kunsthalle Zürich, Zürich, The Clark Institute, Williamstown; Fitzpatrick Gallery, Paris; Sadie Coles HQ, London; Bortolami Gallery, New York; Miguel Abreu Gallery, New York; Off Vendome, New York; Aguirre, Mexico City; and M/L Artspace, Venice.

Collections: Whitney Museum of American Art, New York City, New York; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaundengo, Torino, Italy; Adrastus Collection, Avila, Spain.
