Olli Boehm

Olli Böhm (born 1967) began his artistic career early: at 16 he held his first solo exhibition in Wiesbaden, and a year later he received the Cologne Art Prize as Best Emerging Artist.
After completing his Fachabitur, he studied photography in Paris and Frankfurt and then pursued a career in the creative and advertising world—from graphic designer to Executive Creative Director, later working as a commercial film director with international awards and nominations.

In 2008, an MS diagnosis fundamentally changed his life—and led him back to what had originally driven him: art as an honest form of expression. Today, Olli Böhm tells emotional stories through photography, overpainted works, painting, and text: quiet, cinematic, positively melancholic—and always with the intention of making the “soulful moment in a minor key” visible.
