Holly Oluwo is a mixed media artist based on the Kent coast, originally from Poplar, East London. Her practice centres around connection, memory, and storytelling—exploring themes of identity, anatomy, and resilience through layered, intuitive processes.

Working across collage, drawing, print, and sculptural forms, Holly often incorporates found materials such as newspaper, using texture as both medium and message. Her work holds space for personal narrative alongside wider social reflection, creating pieces that feel both intimate and quietly powerful.

Alongside her studio practice, Holly creates distinctive line portraits that capture the essence of people in a minimal yet deeply expressive way. Working either from life or from photographs, her continuous line drawings celebrate presence, emotion, and the beauty of shared moments. Each piece is created intuitively, holding a quiet energy—an imprint of a moment in time.

Holly also brings this practice into live settings, offering portraiture at weddings, ceremonies, and gatherings. These works become more than drawings; they are keepsakes—honest, elegant, and full of feeling—allowing people to leave with a tangible memory of connection.

Her work is experienced through exhibitions, curated spaces, and community-led workshops, reflecting a practice rooted in both personal expression and collective experience.
