Breenaun captures the spectral quiet of the road leading to the Breenane cemetery, nestled between the villages of Maam and Kilmilkin in Joyce Country, County Galway. This is a deeply personal landscape, where memory and mourning fold into the folds of the land itself—the place where the artist’s mother now rests.
Originally hand-painted and later digitally enhanced, the image balances shadow and light. A winding road gleams softly, leading the viewer toward darkened hills silhouetted against a fiery, cloud-streaked sky. The digital textures heighten the emotional atmosphere, evoking both absence and presence, grief and reverence.
This artwork belongs to the artist’s broader exploration of Irish landscape as a vessel for memory, myth, and personal reckoning. The fusion of traditional painting and digital enhancement speaks to an in-between space—where past and present, the living and the dead, remain intertwined in the land.
The hush, the fire, the sacred weight
Of dusk that meets the hands of fate.
Let others trace this winding lane,
Where absence hums a soft refrain;
And find, like I, a peace therein—
Where loss and beauty softly spin.
Hand-painted on paper, scanned and converted to a digitally enhanced still.
