"The artist's intent is to subvert and play with roles, matter and dimensions. Olinet's fascination for childhood and fairytale, both classic and Walt Disney's, allows him to create fantastical sculptures which are simultaneously attractive and repulsive. His drums recall, from their shape and colour, a playful and circus-like atmosphere, but also hide a darker side to their creation, insomuch as the artist himself defines them as "martial"".
