We have this hope,
as an anchor of the soul,
both sure and unshakable.

– Hebrew 6:19

Saoirse O’Sullivan

Saoirse O’Sullivan a passionate Artist from the rebel County Cork, strives to continuously capture our Irish landscape using bursts of strong unexpected colours  painted directly on canvas. The Artists hope is to bring oneself into a world of vibrant colour, spontaneous compositions, and most importantly a contagious love for our Emerald Isle.

Since Saoirse Completed her BA in Fine Art in Crawford College of Art and Design 2016, Here she began an endless journey of joyful opportunities to follow in the Fine Art world. From knowledge and her love for Art, Saoirse went on and studied a Masters in Education through Art and Design in University College Cork in 2018. 

As an enthusiastic Art teacher and a practicing Artist here in County Cork. Saoirse finds creativity in every corner through conversation, the youth, the beauty of our land, and the everyday to only capture just a glimpse on canvas.

Artist Statement

The Artist says ‘Creativity takes Courage’, But through the artists strong faith she believes she has been called to create scenes from her home land, to not only enlighten but also to bring encouragement to the viewer.

Saoirse’s deep faith has an overall connection to her work. Through all life experiences thick, thin, turbulent and gentle. To the Artist there is only one truth that outweighs life in itself. That He would remain the uttermost voice within each painting.

The Artist works with a traditional approach of Fine Art painting using only Acrylic and Oil on canvas. Holding a surrealist whimsical style throughout, with the use of strong, vibrant and unexpected colours. Pushing boundaries, the Artist wishes to only highlight this outstanding country we live in.

The artist’s current work is a reflection of local scenes from the Saoirse’s own doorstep – The beauty of Ireland and specifically County Cork.

‘Heartfelt Minard‘, Saoirse O’Sullivan, Acrylic & Oil on Canvas, 2020.
