Delicate Demure
"Flowers carry much deeper meanings than simply being pretty—they connect us to each other and to nature. Both of my floral styles evoke a sense of enchantment and fantasy. I use colour, texture, and a variety of materials to highlight this, creating an alluring depth in my work." - Holly Anastasia
After completing a UAL Art and Design Extended Diploma at Henley College, Holly continued her studies at Arts University Bournemouth, where she graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art. Now based in her studio in Marlow, Holly creates artworks that draw inspiration from the organic beauty and feminine associations of flowers.
A distinctive feature of Holly's art is the inclusion of metallic elements or accents, which reflect light from the surrounding environment back onto the artwork. This effect creates a sense of movement, as if the flowers are floating or dancing across the canvas. These captivating pieces are designed to evoke a dopamine-like response while encouraging viewers to take a closer, more thoughtful look.
