Frank Oliva

When I discovered Aboriginal art during a visit to Australia, I was captivated by the trails of color across canvas. My tracks have a beginning and an end.

The color dots have a story line and every painting is different...and every painting tells a different story. I hope you as the viewer enjoy the visual adventure. ~ Frank Oliva

Aloha and Welcome to Frank Oliva Island Art!

For over four decades Hawaii colorist, artist, and painter Frank Oliva has been using acrylics to paint fanciful and beautiful furniture, woods, papers, and canvases inspired by dynamic natural beauty of the sea, volcanoes, and flora of his island home, as well as his fascination for aboriginal painting which started when he traveled to Australia.

Frank Oliva has been recognized as one of 100 award-winning abstract artists in a beautiful coffee table book entitled "Art Journey Abstract Painting: A Celebration of Contemporary Art" released by North Light Books (April, 2017).

Frank Oliva is one of the few artists working in the painstakingly colorful Aboriginal dot style. His masterpieces can be found in many homes and art collections throughout the islands and the mainland.
