Obra Maestra - Today's Brilliant Contemporary and Modern Artist for Multi-Arts: Dr Olivier Pascalin

 One of the most fascinating multi-talented artists I ever met in the Art Discipline is the world renowned and internationally acclaimed medical doctor, poet, essayist, playwright, film and stage lead actor, lead dancer, painter, foreign language teacher and the living legend, our wedding godfather Dr Olivier Pascalin of Argentina, South America. Dr Olivier Pascalin is simply an epitome of an Art Protagonist. He lives and breathes Art. And I consider myself very lucky in having in contact with him. Dr Olivier Pascalin is an Art Genius and has been a huge contributor in the development and advancement of contemporary and modern arts in all genres.

Since the 1970s, Dr. Olivier PASCALIN has been one of the pioneers of Chinese medicine in Europe. He is a neuro-psychiatrist, acupuncturist, physician, medical researcher and a doctor who is highly recognized for his original and innovative ways of treating ailments.

Together with his colleagues, his medical discoveries are revolutionizing treatments for incurable diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Its approach, which combines western medicine and chinese medicine, is clearly ahead. He received his PhD from the Hong Kong Medical University. He trained and graduated in Gestalt Therapy in Germany and New York, working in the humanitarian sector of the "Doctors Without Borders".

He founded and has been running his own Art Academy "STUDIO OLIVIER PASCALIN" in Berlin for 15 years now.

Dr. Olivier Pascalin conducts extensive research on religions, sects and spirituality. This multilingual author's passion for writing was first supported by teaching religion in primary school in Berlin, Germany. He also has a master's degree in theology from the Evangelische Bildungshochschule Berlin. He studies, teaches and writes about mysticism and oriental esotericism. He is an essayist, playwright, novelist and a poet who is very fluent in speaking and writing 7 different languages. He has published more than 20 books including 5 world bestsellers ("The Sinkhole", "The Workshop", “Bailar conocimiento tu cuerpo”, “Abecedario de Cuentos Saludables”, “Riviera Maya” ) and participated in more than 530 world anthologies. A multi-talented artist in all performing disciplines since 1960, he has opted for a career in the international "world of entertainment" as a principal dancer, "I have danced for more than 30 years, from classical, post-classical to modern repertoire and starred in Maurice Bejart's "Ballet du XX siècle" as a soloist in Europe and the world."

He was the main actor in more than 40 international films and in more than 50 international film series which include the blockbuster film "Ronin", some of which were awarded like "The Ascension of Chimborazo". He played the leading roles in hundreds of other plays encompassing the classical and modern repertoires. He continues writing plays and short film scripts. 

Dr Olivier Pascalin is an internationally award winning painter. Some of his award-winning works were exhibited in European museums. As a doctor of souls, Dr. Olivier is one of the leading experts on maximum performance and a defender of the holistic health concept. He created his own panacea called "Coach-Onto Therapy". He is the founder of ACADEMOCION and CORPODANCE, a school for professionals that respect their students and works with the motto, "To every emotion its teachings". ACADEMOCION has school branches in Paraguay, Argentina and Mexico while CORPODANCE is in Ecuador. He is also the co-founder of Doctissimo.net and the Delphic Games (Olympic Games of Art).

Dr Olivier Pascalin is an honorary member of the WHO and SACED (French Society of Playwrights and Writers) of Paris, France. At the age of 56, after being ceremonially baptized as "White Shaman" in a Mayan community known as "Coba” (Quintana Roo/Mexico) and after residing in that community for 10 years, he was recognized by his peers as a representative of the sacred medicine of thee Native Americans. Up to now, Dr Olivier Pascalin is still in high demand as a trainer and speaker by companies such as Mercedes Benz, Siemens or Cirque du Soleil and several universities in Argentina; Mexico (UNAM; UAQ); Ecuador, Paraguay (UNINORTE) and in Europe, where he teaches functional anatomy applied to dance: prevention and treatment of injuries. He was recently admitted to the International Chamber of Writers and Artists (CIESART) and holds the positions of Director for Europe and International Director of Events and Affairs.

Dr Olivier Pascalin's obra maestra is entitled " The World in my Hands". This art piece entails that men are just a tiny part of the universe and everything is fleeting, just a moment in space, a moment in life.

For me, Dr Olivier Pascalin's obra maestra evokes the feeling of humanity's desire to contribute to the world's development and as a primary player, men can contribute globally and on a huge scale. The hands are fitting symbols of actions and taking active roles in making positive changes.
