Hilario Olivo is a Dominican artist and a representative figure of the Generation of the 1980s in Dominican art. Born in San Francisco de Macorís, Dominican Republic, he began his artistic studies at an early age and later continued his education at the National School of Fine Arts in Santo Domingo.
His work brings together influences from pre-Columbian culture, African heritage, Caribbean myths and rituals, organic forms, and constructivist elements.
