This striking original work belongs to Kirsty Wain’s signature Olive Tree Series. Painted in her distinct Neo-Fauvist style, the piece celebrates expressive mark-making, rhythmic lines, and vibrant color harmonies.

The painting centers on an ancient, gnarled olive tree whose sculptural trunk and sprawling branches dominate the canvas in vibrant electric blues, teals, and rich violet contours. Set against a luminous, warm pink and lavender sky with glimpses of white-washed Mediterranean architecture in the background, the composition balances bold contrast with poetic energy. Wain’s confident brushwork brings movement and vital rhythm to the foliage and textured bark.

About the Artist
Kirsty Wain is a British painter currently living and working in Spain. Deeply connected to the Mediterranean landscape, her work offers an expressive, emotive interpretation of the surrounding environment. Drawing strong inspiration from Post-Impressionism and the bold colour theory of Fauvism, Wain uses vibrant hues, textured application, and fluid line work to capture the intrinsic energy, spirit, and light of a location. Her paintings, frequently focused on ancient olive groves, hillside pines, and sweeping terrains—seek to translate fleeting personal moments and deep emotional ties to place directly onto the canvas.

Wain’s distinct visual language continues to gain international visibility, and her paintings are held in private collections around the world.

´ I love colour. I love nature. I love art. Together, they are my language. ´ K Wain 2025
