A self-taught Norwegian artist inspired by his Ethiopian heritage, Olana Janfa has had an unconventional journey into creativity. His first time painting was in 2018, after a chance meeting with a French artist in Byron Bay. Once he started to paint, Olana found that art was a perfect medium through which to reconnect with his childhood in Africa, while offering him a greater sense of home and a way to express his identity.
Olana’s artwork is vibrant, playful and bold, often presenting a refreshing comedic social commentary.
Collaborating closely with Olana and Leanne, a distinctive visual identity was crafted, allowing his eccentric creations to take the spotlight. Custom typography mirroring his handwriting and a palette derived from his original works were designed. The artistic journey continued with artwork catalogue, postcards, stickers and digital assets.
