The Olympic Suite is composed of 50 lithographs and serigraphs chosen to represent various contemporary artistic trends. It was published to commemorate the first centenary of modern Olympism. The chosen artists work in very diverse movements and styles, from the hyperrealism of Antonio Lopez to the abstraction of Sol Lewitt, through abstract expressionism, the geometrism of Arden Quin, conceptual art, pop art, the new realism of Baldaccini and Rotella, or the new fauvism of Dokoupil, among others. Among the artists represented there are creators of great international projection, widely recognized by critics.
A multidisciplinary artist, Héctor Julio Páride Carybé stands out in the world of painting as well as in drawing, illustration, ceramics, sculpture, muralism and even research, history and journalism. His work is characterized by a cheerful and carefree style, while still reflecting the Caribbean culture, characterized by capoeira, Afro-Brazilian rituals and the nature of the Bay of El Salvador. Carybé began his artistic career with the illustration of books by famous writers, and later worked for different newspapers, this time as an investigative journalist. His most iconic works are the murals of the Memorial of Latin America, located in the city of Sao Paulo, and the murals of the Miami International Airport, works that crowned Carybé as an outstanding personality within the Latin American panorama.
