In his artistic work, Olaf Holzapfel is interested in space and in how space is created. The results of his work are images that he creates in various media. For his conceptual art, he uses traditional craft techniques on an equal footing with digital image processing. In addition to painting, he also works with sculpture , installation , photography, film and digital printing .

Holzapfel built many of his large objects from hard cardboard and polyamide threads . He is known for his half-timbered sculptures made of wood in different sizes, which he likes to set up in the great outdoors. Olaf Holzapfel's most prominent groups of works also include object pictures made of hay or straw. Since 2009 he has been producing textile pictures in cooperation with the indigenous Wichí tribe from South America, which are woven from the plant fiber Chaguar .
