Holly Razavi

Holly Razavi is a British artist based in a small coastal village in Devon. Working primarily in oil on handmade paper and wood, she paints landscapes and architectural scenes infused with quiet human presence. Using a muted colour palette, Holly creates dreamlike, illustrative scenes that reflect a fascination with place, memory, and fleeting moments of connection, often blurring the line between observation and recollection. Through soft light, delicate mark-making, and gentle gesture, her paintings feel intimate, reflective, and quietly nostalgic.

She hopes to help people to notice the often-overlooked details in their surroundings, encouraging a deeper appreciation of the world around them. Utilizing a muted colour palette, Razavi’s art evokes a sense of calm and tranquillity, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the worlds that she creates.
