COMMERCIAL PROJECTS & VENUES
I have worked closely with commercial clients, hotels, estates and wedding venues, on illustration collections for their websites, postcards or menus. Some of the estates have been glorious to visit and to represent, especially those abroad in Bali and India.
Indian Summer House, Kerala
I was commissioned to illustrate six postcards in watercolour and ink for this stunning boutique hotel in India. It was important to capture the serenity of the place, an oasis removed from the hustle and bustle of the Indian streets, with light pouring through the canopy of surrounding trees & plants.

Bicester Village
“Illustrator Olympia Olympitis brings these local gems to life, exclusively for Bicester Village, in this collection of commissioned art.” Bicester Village
I created a series of twelve illustrations for the renowned designer shopping centre, Bicester Village, depicting beautiful gardens and country estates in the surrounding Oxfordshire area during the full bloom of spring. To signify a partnership with these estates, the collection was displayed at the Village on a blossom-pink wall in one of their boutique shops in Spring 2021, when the world was particularly interested in natural space and the beautiful outdoors.

Described by Bicester Village as a journey through the Cotswolds and beyond, these gardens and estates are open to the public, and are only short journeys away from Bicester Village, offering fresh air and breathtaking scenery. The series included Blenheim Palace, Rousham Gardens and Broughton Castle.
Uluwatu Estate, Bali
I was commissioned by this glorious Mandarin Oriental Hotel, in Bali, to create a bespoke set of illustrations and illustrated stationery, including colourful ‘welcome cards’, menus for every occasion, and a map of the estate.
A bespoke set of stationery is the perfect way for a venue to establish a visual identity and to reflect the joy of staying, or celebrating there. Maps, illustrations of architecture or surrounding nature, can be framed within the venue, used on a website, or I can organise for the image to be printed on a set of bespoke address cards or welcome cards.
If you would like to discuss commissioning your own stationery please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
