Musa Paradisiaca, 2025
This vibrant and colourful painting is based on a photograph of a banana tree living in the palm house at Kew Gardens. It brings together Olivia’s passion for tropical plant life and explorative approach to painting. The delicate cut out in the foreground both highlights and disguises the colourful painting in the back. Light casts shadows directly onto the cut out casting shadows and adding another layer to the work.
Features
Medium: gouache, pastel, ink, paper, canvas on board
Dimensions: H33 x W28 cm (including frame)
Artwork is un-glazed
