Irish artist Ciara Kinsella, Wexford

In my work, I like to explore the possibilities and limits of combining painting, printmaking and photography. I focus on memory and how photography can capture its essence. I work with landscapes, Forests or partially wooded areas as they always evolve and change, yet stay the same.

My inspiration comes from my environment, from hauntingly dark silhouettes of trees and plant life to the delicate details of its living beings. I draw on folklore and symbology to create a narrative, and a sense of mystery. I aim to create curiosity that allows the viewer to contemplate their own connection to nature.
