Figurative

Holly’s Figurative Contemporary Paintings
Holly’s figurative works sit in that rare space where intuition meets quiet power. Each piece is created from a deeply instinctive place—guided more by feeling than by form—giving the figures a sense of calm, presence, and aliveness that is unmistakably hers.

These paintings are not literal portraits; they are emotional translations. Holly paints the energy of a person, the softness of a moment, the echo of a memory. Her mark-making is loose yet intentional, allowing space for breath and stillness, while her palette moves between grounded neutrals and gentle, uplifting colour.

The result is art that feels intimate but expansive, contemporary yet timeless. These figurative works invite you to slow down, to recognise yourself in the softness, and to feel held by the quiet strength of each character.

Alive. Intuitive. Calm. Entirely Holly.
