Olymp'Arts

ARCHITECTURE Olymp'Arts 2019: Creating bridges, houses and buildings, architects bring structure to our lives. Thanks to their contributions, cities get painted with colors and new forms. Both aesthetic and original, their creations are true works of arts. In addition, they also have the power to transform our surroundings, to make them harmonious while preserving nature. It’s a heavy responsibility that has the ability to improve living conditions for all of humanity.

ART OF GESTURE Olymp'Arts 2019: Being on stage for a silent play, miming situations or emotions on the street, the art of gesture is a special discipline. Indeed, without words, artists must convey emotions through their bodies which become their only mean of expression. What’s more universal than gestures ? A source of magic and mystery, while at the same time carrying a message, gestures are capable of transmitting the strongest emotions and harmonies. They correspond perfectly with the objections of our charter.

CINEMA Olymp'Arts 2019: Words are often a source of controversy. This is why we’ve removed them. A combination of images and music, alone, speaks to our aesthetic vision and to our sense of harmony. It’s this, the challenge, that we invite you to overcome. Create a cinematographic piece, without words; in which a combination of images and music allows everyone, regardless of their culture or geographic position, to receive a message, be it direct or subliminal, of beauty and universal harmony.

COMIC Olymp'Arts 2019: The comic strip, a discipline that has had difficulty emancipating itself from drawing, is an art in its own right. It requires very many hours of work and a great mastery of illustration. The challenge for comic strip authors goes beyond mere cultural entertainment. It’s a question of discovering, or inventing, a wordless graphical style, from which the originality and strength of the drawing will reach the sensitivity of all, independently of their respective cultures.

DANCE Olymp'Arts 2019: Dance is one of the key means of expression and has been practiced for millennia. Be it classical, rock, ballroom, contemporary or even hip-hop, dance is always a huge success. It offers endless possibilities and can suit everyone’s tastes. Alone, as a duo or a group, dance is practiced by young and old. Dance and music are inseparable as dance is mainly about rhythm.

DRAWING Olymp'Arts 2019: One pencil, charcoal or pastel stroke and drawing appears. Working on the lines, picking up the colors and the expressions of the characters – if there are characters; this art requires great precision and talent.

Their universal style allows them to express all that the diversity of words cannot.

MUSIC Olymp'Arts 2019: It punctuates our days, always there, music is an integral part of our lives. Its universality needs no further proof. It’s also as varied, by its instrumentation, that there are cultures. The choice of instrumental music, exclusively, is meant to allow all to hear the harmonies that words could never reproduce. Voice, however, is not completely excluded, as long as it expresses universal sounds containing no words. And there are many.

PAINTING Olymp'Arts 2019: Representing landscapes or faces, abstract or concrete forms, painting shows the world and its diversity.
