‘Sweet Tooth’ 2026
50.8 × 61cm
Oil on canvas
Ready to hang
Sweet Tooth celebrates the irresistible joy of sugary indulgence. The painting features an abundance of classic sweet treats—fairy floss, marshmallows, cake, ice-cream and sprinkles—arranged in a vibrant still-life composition. Rendered in a realistic style, the colours are intentionally heightened to create a bold, luminous scene that amplifies the visual pleasure of these treats.
The work draws on the nostalgic way many of us remember “sometimes foods” from childhood: not simply as desserts, but as colourful, exciting moments of delight. The exaggerated brightness and abundance evoke the sense of wonder and indulgence associated with birthday parties, carnivals, and special occasions.
While playful in tone, Sweet Tooth invites viewers to reconnect with that feeling of temptation and joy—encouraging them to give into their cravings… even if their dentist might disapprove.
Original oil painting by Olivia Cotovich
Materials: Winsor & Newton professional artists’ oil paints, Gamblin Gamvar satin varnish
