Olivia Dunn - Emberlight

Emberlight is a painting of an illuminated girl in a dark room. The glowing light upon her is like that of embers; it has a gentle warmth that lingers and guides. She can feel the weight of the contrast between the light and the dark without understanding it—the way the darkness presses in, the way the light refuses to leave her. ‘Emberlight’ is a reminder that even the softest glow can carry you forward.

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.
