'I am fortunate to have a small atelier in Paris that I use as a base camp to wander off and sketch and photograph the streets, cafes, buildings, bridges and interiors, often in pencil and oil pastel, before developing the themes and concepts fully in my Australian studio. To explore the Parisian ambiance by day or by night or to sit in a Riad in Morocco and marvel at Islamic tiles, is powerful ammunition for a visual artist. These works do not faithfully copy what lies in front of me; they are feelings and sensations celebrating beautiful and enchanting places.' Bernard Ollis 2018
