Bio
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.
