This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Mouse Seeking Butterflies is a striking example of Lucinda Holland’s imaginative hyperrealism. Suspended by its tail from a piece of twine, a curious mouse dangles upside-down beside a pewter pot of blueberries. Painted in oil on wood, the composition feels theatrical and slightly mischievous—like a scene caught just moments before a tumble. The title hints at wonder and pursuit, though we see no butterfly, only the promise of adventure.
The juxtaposition of textures—the metal gleam of the pot, the velvet surface of the blueberries, the soft fur of the mouse—showcases Holland’s exceptional control of her medium. The box’s weathered wooden interior provides a moody, almost stage-like setting. Deep navy blues dominate the palette, balanced by creamy neutrals and dusty whites, with just a touch of pink in the mouse’s tiny feet and tail.
This painting walks the line between whimsy and realism, echoing fables and natural observation all at once. There’s a delightful narrative energy—something playful and daring unfolding in a frozen instant. Holland captures not just the visual world of her subject, but its spirit, reminding us of the quiet bravery and curiosity in even the smallest creatures.
Artist Biography:
Lucinda Holland is an emerging British artist known for her exquisitely detailed Trompe L’Oeil oil paintings that merge wildlife with imaginative still life compositions. Her work explores the beauty and fragility of the natural world, often depicted in framed box-like settings where storytelling, emotion, and subtle symbolism come together. Many of her paintings extend beyond the substrate’s edges to heighten the three-dimensional illusion, creating life-sized renditions that evoke a striking sense of presence and depth.
Originally a graphic and web designer, Lucinda’s creative journey took a profound turn following the loss of her partner of 25 years to suicide in 2023. In the wake of this tragedy, she discovered solace in painting and quickly uncovered an innate talent for highly intricate and realistic work. What began as a form of personal healing soon developed into a professional path, as her pet portraits and animal studies gained recognition for their warmth and precision.
By 2025, Lucinda transitioned toward more narrative and conceptual still life pieces, combining her fascination with illusionary art and her deep love for nature. This shift led to a distinctive body of work that has already earned awards and growing attention within the art world. Each piece reflects her interest in the way people interpret animal expressions and interactions, as well as her ability to imbue her subjects with emotional depth and subtle humour.
Much of Lucinda’s inspiration is drawn from her surroundings. She has lived in the Middle East for over 25 years and frequently spends time in Cornwall caring for her elderly mother. Both places, rich in natural beauty and cultural heritage, influence her visual storytelling. She often incorporates antique or everyday objects into her compositions—infusing each scene with layers of meaning and quiet reflection.
Sustainability is an integral part of her practice. Lucinda frequently sources reclaimed vintage wood from old furniture, which she carefully prepares as surfaces for her oil and acrylic paintings. Occasionally, she carves the edges of the panels to further enhance the illusion of depth and realism.
Lucinda’s work continues to evolve, but at its core is a consistent sense of wonder, attention to detail, and a desire to bring stillness, story, and the natural world into close and intimate view.
Explore the captivating realism of Lucinda Holland’s still life paintings, where wildlife elements seamlessly merge with exquisite detail and storytelling.
Celebrated for her extraordinary attention to detail and masterful technique, Lucinda Holland creates works that exemplify the finest in photorealistic artistry. Each painting is meticulously crafted to capture the quiet beauty of everyday moments, often featuring animals in imaginative still life scenes that draw viewers into a world of illusion and wonder. Now available to purchase online and exclusively through Signet Contemporary Art, her paintings are a testament to her exceptional skill and dedication to her craft—offering collectors the chance to own truly distinctive and emotionally resonant works of art.
“My goal is to transport the viewer into the world I create on canvas. Through the beauty of realism and the illusionary effects of Trompe L'oeil, I strive to make each piece feel alive and full of delightful emotion. There’s something magical about transforming nature into art, and I’m honored and grateful to have found the hidden skill I have, and the opportunity to share the results with viewers and collectors alike.”
“There is something profoundly compelling about how we project our own emotions and narratives onto creatures that experience the world in ways we can never fully understand. We humanize their gestures, their gazes, their postures—and so I endeavour to evoke joy and humour in the viewer derived from the expressions and poses of the creatures I create.”- Lucinda Holland.
