Bio

Olivia Aimés is a visual artist from Tkaronto (Toronto), Canada, working with sculpture, paint, and mixed media. Her practice explores ecological regeneration, cultural memory, and the decolonization of self and land, through a lens shaped by her experience as a disabled person of colour navigating a predominantly ableist and settler-colonial society.

Informed by two years of travel and material research across Asia, Olivia works with traditional techniques—such as ceramics and classical drawing—combined with found and natural materials, like wood, and agricultural tools. Her work investigates the intersections of environmental justice, identity, and place, while also unpacking the contradictions and disorientation of growing up racialized in a Canadian context.

Olivia creates space for reflection, disruption, and material memory. Her practice is grounded in sustainability, accessibility, and slow, intentional making.
