Pride Bandana

Jared Olsever is a multidisciplinary artist who was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. After receiving foundation courses in Studio Arts from George Brown College in Toronto, he later received a Digital Media Arts diploma from Seneca College at York University in 2011. He continued exploring different mediums such as painting, sculpture, digital media, portraiture, and figurative painting. Olsever has exhibited work in Toronto and in the Caymans Islands. Currently, Olsever explores his creativity using video, graphic design, digital illustration and acrylics to develop compositions of a narrative around his identity.

Recently freeing himself from a high-control religious cult, Jared has connected with his sexuality as a queer artist. He uses robotics and technological themes in his works to display the impact of programing in the world he grew up in. His love for animation, realism and fantasy are merged and seen throughout his works.
