Olympia Schulte is a proudly trans artist based in Sydney, Australia (Gadigal Land). 

Olympia has been making art online under the pseudonym Repitlianspacealien since 2017. They work through traditional illustration and printmaking mediums to explore the queer identity, fallacies of gender, and existentialism in a capitalistic world. On quieter, less critical thinking days, Olympia finds joy in depicting scenes of dogs and other animals in nature.

In 2022 Olympia brought their art from paper to skin through tattoos. Through tattooing Olympia has found joy in adorning people with art that makes them feel at home in their bodies. Their tattoo portfolio draws on a central theme of decorating the skin, similar to that of jewellery, whether that be through illustrations of animals and plants or abstracted sigils that compliment the body as it naturally is. Olympia also finds inspiration in the custom tattoo requests they receive which give them the opportunity to merge their art style with unique concepts they would never have thought of.

Ultimately, Olympia’s practice serves to celebrate the body. Their space, physical and online, is a safe place for trans and queer folk.
