Floral Works
Exuberant floral still lifes that celebrate colour, pattern, and the tension between order and organic profusion.
These works demand attention, project outward, and perform their beauty with confidence—both natural and constructed, genuine and glamorous. Working with saturated grounds—coral reds, golden ochres—Olivia creates paintings that function almost as interior design elements while retaining the unpredictable energy of expressionism.
The florals explore the relationship between containment and overflow. Vases struggle to hold arrangements that threaten to burst their bounds; petals curl and spill across the canvas edge. This is nature domesticated but not subdued.
