ABOUT

Welcome to the OLU OLU store!

I’m Mimi, the artist behind OLU OLU, a brand born from my journey of healing through painting. Two years ago, I discovered the power of art to bring peace and self-acceptance, and OLU OLU was born. The name “OLU OLU” means “calm” or “pleasant” in Hawaiian, which reflects the essence of my creative process—painting from the heart and letting intuition guide me.

My work often explores themes of spiritual growth, self-love, and human connection. I believe there is beauty in every part of our emotional journey, whether it’s joy, vulnerability, or the search for meaning. My art aims to express this complexity, capturing raw emotion and encouraging others to embrace their own feelings. The figures I paint are often feminine, but I love to play with the fluidity of gender, exploring both masculine and feminine energies as part of the human experience.

I mostly work on a large scale—murals, expansive canvases—allowing me to immerse myself fully in the process. I create intuitively, without a set plan, because I believe that art should be about energy and the moment. However, I also want my work to be accessible to a wider audience. That’s why I offer prints made from recycled paper and eco-friendly ink, ensuring that the prints are as vibrant and true to the original pieces as possible.

Art, for me, is about more than just aesthetics—it’s about connection, healing, and sharing that energy with others. I hope my work inspires you to embrace your own emotional journey and find beauty in every moment.

Thank you for supporting OLU OLU and being part of this creative experience!
