The Claddagh or ‘An Cladach’ meaning ‘the shore’, is a notable area in Galway, on the western side of the city, outside the walls of medieval Galway. The Claddagh was once an ancient fishing village, dating from the fifth century. This community, most of whom sold their daily catches at market near the Spanish Arch, lived in thatched cottages. They sailed in the famous Galway Hooker boats and spoke Irish.
In 1927, the old village was declared ‘unhealthy’ due to overcrowded conditions and a lack of ‘sanitary accommodation or water supply’. And so, the Town Commissioners decided to demolish the cottages and rebuild the Claddagh.
The modern Claddagh has now become one of Galway's most sought-after areas for both investors and homeowners.

As an artist, my journey has been deeply influenced by my upbringing in Italy, a land steeped in artistic tradition. From a young age, I was captivated by the rich tapestry of beauty woven by the great masters who called this country home. It was amidst this backdrop of cultural richness that my appreciation for art blossomed, shaping my perception of the world and instilling in me a profound reverence for the aesthetic.
However, it was not until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic that I truly embraced my identity as an artist. Faced with the challenges of isolation and uncertainty, I turned to digital art as a means of creative expression. This period of forced introspection served as a catalyst for my artistic evolution, propelling me towards the discovery of new techniques and styles.
In particular, I found myself drawn to the palette knife technique, because of its ability to evoke a sense of abstract realism. Through the interplay of vibrant colours and subtle metallic accents, I strive to capture the essence of the world around me. My paintings are infused with a luminous energy that enhances the reality of the subjects, all while maintaining an abstract perception.
My artistic vision finds its fullest expression in the depiction of seascapes and the picturesque landscapes of Connemara. Inspired by the rugged beauty of the Irish coast, I seek to transport the viewer to a realm where time stands still and the natural world unfolds in all its splendour.
Yet, it is my latest collection that holds a special place in my heart. Dedicated to exploring the parallel worlds of children and dog puppies, these paintings are a celebration of innocence and companionship. With meticulous attention to detail, I endeavour to capture the unique bond shared between these two beings, as seen through the windows of their eyes.
In essence, my art reflects the myriad influences that have shaped my journey as an artist. From the storied landscapes of Italy to the rugged shores of Connemara, each painting serves as a testament to the transformative power of creativity and the enduring beauty of the human spirit.
