Ireland in colour, season, and memory

Across fields, familiar roads and the quiet detail of home, painting becomes a slower way of seeing.

Places carry what has happened there.

A road worn into the land, a wall softened by growth, a house or garden remembered from far away: these places carry traces of lives shaped around them. Paintings can hold a meeting point between what was known firsthand and what travels through stories, distance and generations.

Where Stories Linger

Old roads, stone boundaries, quiet fields and weathered buildings carry the trace of lives once held close to the land.

Where lives and routes have changed, roads, fields and buildings can still hold their traces. This Collection considers leaving and return, and how a sense of home may continue through distance and generations.

Two ways of seeing

Elena

Elena often returns to roads, stone walls and old structures. She is interested in the marks left by use and weather: a boundary repaired over time, a route worn into the land, a building still standing after its first purpose has gone.

Meet Elena

Karina

Karina works much closer to the subject. She is drawn to details that are easy to pass by: the edge of a leaf, the surface of a flower, the structure of a small object and the particular way light sits on something familiar.
