We are drawn to art that possesses an unmistakable soul—pieces that carry the warmth of a life well-lived and the beauty of a story waiting to be told. It is with immense pleasure that we introduce Yolanda Eke, an Australian artist whose work perfectly embodies this ethos. Yolanda joins us as our newest Artist in Residence, bringing a captivating collection that moves effortlessly between abstraction, memory, and story.
Yolanda’s layered gestures and signature sun-washed palettes are shaped by the vivid light of the Mediterranean and the grounded, familiar landscapes of Australia. Her technique blurs places into pure feeling, creating art that is intuitive, emotive, and textural—unmistakably her own.
Yolanda’s practice is a study in balancing presence and memory, movement and ease. Working across oil, acrylic, and mixed media, she brings an instinctive sense of composition to each piece.
Her art does not attempt to replicate a photograph; instead, it strives to capture the essence of a moment or a place remembered. The creamy, thick texture often applied with a palette knife adds a beautiful, visceral quality to the work, giving the viewer a piece that truly feels lived-in and soulful.
When you look at a piece by Yolanda Eke, you are seeing a fragment of the world as she felt it, not just as she saw it.
Yolanda’s collection showcases a beautiful duality, moving between evocative landscapes and joyful figurative scenes, all united by her signature palette and layered technique.
Yolanda Eke’s collection is a beautiful example in honest expression, with each piece acting as a vibrant portal to a specific memory, feeling, or place. Yolanda's artwork is a fusion of sun-washed palettes and rich texture, designed to bring a soulful, lived-in character to your space.
This original artwork pulls fragments of the Australian bushland into focus. The brushstrokes bend like bush tracks—lush, layered, and a little unruly—capturing the mountain pulsing just beneath the surface. This piece is a grounding exploration of nature's subtle energy, bringing a quiet strength to any wall.
A beautiful study in landscape and escape, this mixed media painting evokes the feeling of a secluded hideaway. The land stretches and twists, then shrugs into the sea—palms leaning like they’ve seen it all. It’s the kind of tranquil place you stumble into and quietly hope no one ever finds you, making it a perfect piece for quiet contemplation.
This large, expressive canvas is a rebellion against the rush of the modern world. Its creation was inspired by the idea that some escapes don’t need a plan—just a horizon wide enough to lose yourself in. With thick, creamy texture applied with a palette knife, this artwork is an invitation to embrace freedom and emotional release.
A standout figurative work, this piece captures a moment of spontaneous, joyful chaos. The afternoon unraveled into heat, fruit, and theatre. One arm up, two glasses high—a toast to chaos and bananas. This expressive painting is full of warmth, character, and the beautiful drama of human interaction.
This charming still life captures a familiar moment of shared memory and deepening friendship. One sip turned into a plan, the second into a confession. By the time the olives were gone, they’d agreed it was definitely the grapes fault. It’s a playful piece that celebrates the warmth of good company and spontaneous connection.
A delightful, intimate study in transition, this small original captures the subtle shifts of the year. The pineapple’s clinging to summer, the orange swears its autumn. It’s a beautiful reminder that even within the same quiet bowl, different moods and seasons can coexist with beautiful harmony.
This painting captures a sense of effortless, careless beauty. It depicts a bouquet caught mid-laugh, held loosely by a vase that barely remembers its shape. The flowers lean into the light, carefree and pink, like they were placed there by a sunny afternoon with nothing urgent to do. It’s an easy, joyful piece to live with.
This serene scene is all about stillness and escape. It captures a moment where bikinis swung gently between two palms, salt shimmered on the boat, and the whole scene felt dipped in sunscreen and serenity. Nothing urgent. Just sunshine, stillness, and the gentle act of drifting away in a daydream.
Yolanda Eke’s art is an invitation to pause and carry fragments of beautiful memory into your home. Discover the unique blend of Australian grounding and Mediterranean light, and find the piece that is ready to tell your next story.
Drawing from years of experience in homewares and design, we celebrate conscious buying, artisanal craftsmanship, and are driven by the belief that every space should be a collection of pieces that tell stories from past and present and make ways for the narrative to continue in the future. Our mission is to inspire, guide, and help you weave a unique and meaningful story within your own walls.
