Irish art, Ian Delaney
My name is Ian Delaney and I am an Irish artist based in Dublin. I am self
taught with no formal artistic education other than art in secondary school. I
primarily love working with acrylic paint due to the sharpness and vividness of
colour but have worked with oils too. Having spent my teenage years painting I
was advised to turn professional but declined at the time and stopped painting
for over 17 years.
In 2011 my artistic journey began again as I picked up a long buried desire and
talent. Having enjoyed just being back amongst my paints and brushes again my
wife encouraged me to show my paintings to others so I plucked up the courage
to exhibit on the peoples art in St Stephen Green.
It has grown from there and I look forward to what the future holds as I strive
to get better and better.
