Olivia Tew
Contemporary Painter
Bold colour, gestural mark-making, and heavy impasto surfaces that give form weight and permanence. Figure studies, floral still lifes, and expressionistic landscapes united by an unflinching approach to emotional truth.
The Collection
Three distinct bodies of work exploring transformation, abundance, and the shifting landscape
"Each painting asks us to witness without intruding—the universal experience of weathering change, of the body as vessel for emotional experience."
Working primarily in oil, Olivia builds surfaces through heavy impasto that gives form weight and permanence. Her gestural brushwork refuses prettiness or idealisation—each stroke visible, urgent, yet deeply tender in cumulative effect.
For Hotels & Designers
Olivia works with interior designers, hotels, and private collectors on commissions and art consultancy. Her paintings bring warmth, energy, and emotional depth to residential and hospitality spaces.
