Holly Eva – ‘The Art of Stillness’

Holly’s work reflects a profound appreciation for the beauty found in simplicity. Drawing inspiration from her upbringing in both country and beach townships, as well as her knowledge of renowned artists, she creates minimalist abstract still lifes and abstract figurative paintings that blend calmness with excitement.

Painting is an intuitive process for Holly, guided by the flow of creativity. Each piece evolves naturally, without preconceived constraints, allowing the art to dictate its own form. She finds joy in vibrant colors, striving to evoke a sense of peace while igniting a spark of energy. Her goal is to reflect her own aspiration to be both calm and energized.

Beyond painting, Holly is passionate about handmade pottery, often incorporating these cherished items into her studio and home. For her, pottery represents the human touch in art-making, inspiring her own creative journey regardless of the pottery’s creator.

Through her work, Holly aims to honor the everyday beauty that surrounds us, whether in nature, handmade objects, or the act of creating itself. She believes that art holds a timeless place in our world, offering solace, inspiration, and a connection to something greater.
