Paulina Holstein Verified listing

Working primarily in oil, Paulina uses a wide range of pigments to achieve the vibrancy and smooth gradients that define her visual language. She  often paints small studies on hard surfaces, valuing the precision they allow, and finishes each piece with a custom frame built together with her father — a detail that reinforces the craftsmanship behind her practice.

Paulina is drawn to everyday objects and small, familiar moments for their overlooked potential. Animals appear in her work for the same reason: whether a pig, a zoo creature, or a household companion, they reveal individuality that people often miss.

By isolating these subjects and amplifying their hues, she creates images that feel both nostalgic and sharply contemporary.

Her work resonates with viewers who recognise themselves in this tension — adults who grew up in a bright world and now have to navigate a muted one.

Collectors value her paintings for their craftsmanship, emotional clarity, and the way they reintroduce a sense of curiosity without slipping into kitsch.

Paulina continues to explore how colour and memory shape the way we see, inviting viewers to look longer and feel more
