Olympio’s multivalent approach to art making is influenced by his mixed cultural upbringing. His experience of moving between Beninese, Togolese and French cultures (and territories) has brought about in him an interest in those more or less tangible spaces that connect or separate us - the overlaps or intersections that exist between people, beyond the usual social-cultural identifiers (race, gender, religion) that continue to bind us. His sensitively rendered paintings, expressive yet precise in their simplicity, speak to his view of culture and identity as ambiguous and fluid. Nothing is certain and predefined in Olympio's work. He states: “as in the living world, things (or beings) are defined and take shape according to the events that affect them. I'm not trying to say something or impose meaning; I'm trying to understand, to find out something. [...] I have always viewed artistic practice as an ongoing process. A research. During the work, plastic, theoretical or personal questions emerge and feed the process.”

Olympio has held five solo exhibitions to date, most recently Ceux qui sont partis et ceux qui sont restés (2024) at blank projects. He has participated in several group exhibitions, both locally and internationally, including Common at A4 Arts Foundation, Cape Town, South Africa (2023), Respirer at La Box, Ensa Bouges, France (2021); Contemporary Benin at Fondation Donwahi, Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire (2021) and Shaping the future at Arp Museum, Remagen, Germany (2019). In 2018, Olympio was artist-in-residence at the Made in Balmoral, Bad Ems, Germany.

Olympio’s work is represented in several notable private and institutional collections, including the National Gallery of Victoria (Australia) and Credit Suisse Collection (Switzerland).
