I seek out moments that occur in our present urban setting, where evolving abstract beauty, deconstruction and decay collide. In nature we see infinite patterns, intricate and perfect.
On the streets I see something similar emerging… my work is immersed in recreating the rhythm and found beauty on the walls and streets around East London, layered with papers, graffiti, and text.

Happy Monday. Some sun ☀️ today! I’m adding Blue Morpho and lotus flowers to my @holly.co this week. Link in bio for more detailed information. This is my first creation of 2024. The beginning of a new year usually marks change, manifesting your dreams and reflecting the time passed. I wanted something beautiful and peaceful to create stillness for the viewer. Nature is always my happy and still place.
A butterfly on a lotus flower can be symbolic, encouraging a greater focus on the letting go of past injustices that is an integral first step to transformation and transcendence. 🦋🙏🏼🤍

“God, grant me the serenity to accept
the things I cannot change, the courage to
change the things I can and the wisdom
to know the difference.”
Been thinking about a lot of the difficult things happening in the world and closer to home. It’s hard to keep your head above water at times but I saw this today and it made me think how simple and true it is.
I thought I’d share this for anyone that needs to read it. Have a lovely Thursday 💕 Evi x

Happy Earth Day 🌎
Earth Day is an annual event observed across the globe to demonstrate support for environmental protection and for me awareness and deep respect and love for Mother Earth (Gaia) and all she provides us with.
And to coincide with this day I am introducing a new artwork, “Chidakasha”
Chidakasha is a Sanskrit term that means “space of consciousness” or “inner space.” In yoga philosophy, it is the link between the conscious, subconscious and super-conscious, located behind the forehead and the ajna chakra. (Third eye)
I love the yoga philosophy and its great wisdom both in the physical and spiritual realm. Yoga helps your mind, body and soul to transform and become more balanced and integrated. I feel off balance when my practise is not regular.
This artwork is inspired by the tradition of Mandalas, which were born out of Buddhism.
In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may have been used for focusing attention, as an aid to meditation and establishing a sacred space to envision and manifest the higher self.
A mandala is a symbol of the universe in its ideal form, and its creation signifies the transformation of a universe of suffering to one of joy. We are at a point in humanity that senses a shift of consciousness and true purpose and calling.
🦋The blue morpho butterfly symbolises “healing” change and rebirth. They have been long associated with a deep and powerful representation of the soul and spiritual transformation.
My dream is to see one of these in its real habitat in Costa Rica. Natives of the rainforest see the Blue Morpho as a wish granter. 🦋
And the lotus flower has a deep philosophical meaning. Lotus flowers symbolise clarity of thought and purpose. They also represent transformation and rebirth. On the path of enlightenment the lotus reminds us we can emerge to blossom, regardless of where we started.
The lotus flower also symbolises expansion, or awakening of consciousness, sprouting from muddy waters, it emerges, cleansed by the water and blossoms into an exquisite flower. Artwork details to follow soon.
