Alexandra Oliver is a Suffolk-based landscape artist whose practice is grounded in a deep connection to place. She holds a BA in Fine Art with History of Art from the University of Leeds, trained in classical techniques at the Florence Academy of Art, and completed her MA in Fine and Decorative Art and Design at Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London. 

​

Rooted in the Suffolk landscape, Oliver’s work explores the vitality of the natural world, particularly woodland environments. She captures her surroundings initially through charcoal, pastel and acrylic, and responds directly to the shifting light and atmosphere present in nature. These studies are later developed into oil paintings on canvas, using layers of paint to build depth and luminosity, and enrich the surface with a subtle vibrancy.

​

Informed, although not confined, by a deep engagement with British landscape painting, her work reconsiders Romantic traditions through a contemporary lens, and creates an immersive encounter for the viewer by drawing them into the living landscape.
