Olivia Dunn - Resting Fawn On Bed, Original Oil Painting

This painting of a young fawn resting on soft blankets is a work about tenderness and emotional comfort.

There is a vulnerability with the fawn not being in its usual outdoor space and instead wrapped in blankets. This narrative suggests protection, care, and healing. The fawn is being sheltered from the world and given comfort and safety.

There is a gentleness to the painting, with the calm colours and soft textures inviting a sense of tranquillity, encouraging the viewer to slow down and appreciate quiet moments.

Olivia’s paintings have developed from an enduring interest in people and the emotional connections we experience throughout our lives. This has lead to a strong emphasises on portraiture, with the female form being a constant thread throughout.

Olivia’s practice has been in influenced by a degree in both Fine Art and Psychology, merging the two to focus on the idea of connectedness and how posture and gaze can alter our response to an artwork. Her paintings have a sense of solitude and quietness which invites the viewer into their world to form a connection, however fleeting or intangible.
