Olmec art refers to the artistic creations of the Olmec civilization, which was an ancient Mesoamerican culture that existed from around 1500 BCE to 400 BCE. The story of Olmec art is characterized by the remarkable stone sculptures and figurines they produced. These artistic works often depicted prominent features of the Olmec culture, such as their distinctive helmeted heads, elaborate headdresses, and symbolism associated with their religious and spiritual beliefs. Olmec art has had a significant influence on later Mesoamerican civilizations and is considered one of the earliest and most important artistic traditions in the region.
