Striking Artwork to Inspire and Transform
Discover another world as you immerse yourself in the flowing forms and delicate movement of these unique and powerful oil paintings. British artist Genevieve Leavold celebrates the beauty of the natural world and believes in the power of art to ignite the imagination.
Her work offers a fresh perspective on abstract painting, as she draws inspiration from nature, art historical movements, and eastern philosophy. Some of the themes she often explores in her work are the relationship between people and nature, and characteristics of the human condition.
Genevieve’s paintings are created by the layering of transparent glazes. Each brushstroke tells a story, as the spontaneous strokes are unplanned but an intuitive response to the layers and colours beneath, creating balance and harmony in the finished piece.
Her paintings have the power to completely transform any space. The textural and flowing brushwork often evokes feelings of serenity and tranquility and offers the viewer an escape from the stress of modern life. These stunning and impactful works act as a focal point and conversation starter for any room.

The artist's Blooms collection is influenced by her recent sell-out exhibition Release, which featured paintings inspired by stories of letting go.
When creating these works, Genevieve also took inspiration from folk art and the dutch flower paintings. Specifically the use of a dark background to accentuate the combination of soft and bright colours of her work.
The collection takes the viewer through seasons, as the palettes reflect the changing colours of flora through the year.
The artist created these Bloom paintings to celebrate the feeling of release. Holding tight and then letting go of whatever is weighing on you leading to feelings of renewal and growth.
