With its unique and fascinating features, Sven sets itself apart from other portraits in the collection, inviting viewers to contemplate the nature of perception and interpretation.
One of the most striking features of Sven's portrait is the way it captures his personality. The character's multi-colored hair suggests that he is an open-minded youngster who thinks about many different topics that are trending at the moment. Sven's hairstyle is so unconventional that it betrays his adventurous side. The portrait also conveys an unquestionable sense of euphoria and excitement, making it clear that Sven is anchored in the present moment and full of life.
Sven's eyes are particularly captivating, as they seem to follow the viewer around the room. No matter from which side of the room one looks, Sven's eyes seem to be looking at you.

The colors used in Sven's portrait follow a structure and color code that adds another layer of complexity to the artwork. Starting with the foundation and base in black and white, the portrait builds upon this structure to create a path for Sven to follow. The yellow in Sven's eyes represents his burning desire to explore life, while the purple around his eyes references the other primary colors mixed together, creating a sense of depth and complexity.
The colors around Sven's eyes are shaped almost like an 8, with one color line representing a wave showing that Sven is kind of circling around his thoughts, not being able to pinpoint his ideas precisely and getting lost by following the endless infinity sign. On the third level, the level of Sven's hair, we can now notice that Sven has figured out his ideas precisely and is able to pinpoint them with precision. His ideas, represented in the three primary colors, are spread around to be built and developed upon. Sven is therefore a super creative bundle full of great ideas that he happily shares with the world to make a better world together.
Overall, Olivier Bollag's Sven is a fascinating portrait that captures the essence of a young man with a wild and unpredictable character.
