Reflections. Summer dream. (2025) Original Oil Painting by Lilia Orlova-Holmes

Extra-Large semi-abstract and expressive painting.

The painting is a part of my series "Reflections and Flow. Dreams of summer in Giverny."
Exhibited in Verbier, Switzerland during The Verbier Festival 2026.

"Orlova-Holmes presents nature as an ever-changing environment, experienced through sensation as much as observation. Gardens, ponds, flowering plants, and trees emerge from layered surfaces where forms dissolve and reappear. Familiar imagery remains recognisable while existing between representation and abstraction, reflecting the fluidity of the natural world.
Rather than describing nature with documentary precision, each painting emerges through a dialogue between observation, gesture, and material. Forms are continually adjusted, colours accumulate through successive layers, and traces of earlier decisions remain visible within the painted surface. Orlova-Holmes adopts nature’s processes, allowing her work to evolve through transformation in much the same way that rivers continue to move, seasons unfold into one another, and every landscape is shaped by an endless cycle of growth, decay, and renewal."
