The Olympic Suite is made up of fifty lithographs and serigraphs chosen to represent various contemporary artistic trends. It was published to commemorate the first centenary of modern Olympism. The artists chosen work in very diverse movements and styles, from the hyperrealism of Antonio López to the abstraction of Sol Lewitt, including abstract expressionism, the geometrism of Arden Quin, conceptual art, pop art, the new realism of Baldaccini and Rotella, and the new fauvism of Dokoupil, among others. Among the artists represented are creators of great international renown, widely recognised by the critics.
André Arabis trained at the art college in Damascus, graduating in 1966. He later completed his training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he graduated in 1982. In 1987 he was awarded a doctorate for his research into the comparative aesthetics between art with Islamic roots and Kinetic/Op-Art. His plastic work has always been abstract, based on geometry.
