Lilia Orlova-Holmes is a bestselling British artist.
"The ethereal beauty of Lillia's fantastical gardenscapes is mixed with a loose Impressionist technique, as brush marks seem to fall off the canvas. Allow earthly splendour to fill the room with dreamy romance and a distinct Japanese calligraphic influence."
Art critic and curator Aindrea Emelife.
In her recent essay "Spoils of Post Cataclysm", Art writer Esther Hipponax wrote:
"Lilia Orlova-Holmes does not seek to represent nature but to embody and become it. Against the tradition which places man against and above nature, an outsider peering in, Lilia emphasises our essential place in nature as a process of movement and change. To separate man from this world, we have elevated ourselves above plants, animals, and the non-human. Thus, in representing plant life, we alienate ourselves from it. Lilia rejects this dictate and affirms our common nature: a brutal surge of life which is only growth, growth alone. Her craft is thus not representation but becoming: Lilia embodies the process of nature and grows in her craft as a plant does in itself."
Lilia's paintings are currently on show via Winsor Birch Fine Art & Sculpture Company.

Email: gallery@johndaviesgallery.com"Lilia combines three outstanding qualities in her technique that
gives her paintings such strong appeal, namely, spontaneity,
innate compositional feel and a resonant, yet classic palette.
The spontaneity imbues her subjects with great movement, as though
an observer's momentary glimpse is arrested when walking past
that bunch of flowers or that apple tree. Her compositional skill
help this transitory feel, a lack of formality which she combines
with a lightness of touch that is so arresting, wonderful in its
expressive gestural mark-making. Then, her palette - luxurious,
true, generous and positively infectious. I find her paintings
powerfully evocative of turn of the 19th to 20th Century
Impressionist works, possessing a truly engaging feeling, while also being delightfully fresh and contemporary."
