Blue Hills is an original acrylic painting by Orfhlaith Egan, part of the Rügen collection. Inspired by memories of growing up in Cornamona, on the shores of Lough Corrib in the west of Ireland, this landscape captures the gentle silhouettes of distant hills beneath a luminous sky. Painted while living in Germany, it reflects the emotional pull of homeland through its soft gradients, quiet mood, and love of natural light. A contemplative piece, Blue Hills merges place and memory into a timeless moment of calm.
Blue Hills is a quiet meditation on memory and place—an imagined landscape shaped by the atmospheric tones and contours of the west of Ireland. The silhouetted hills, softened colours, and luminous sky recall the shifting weather and light play that define the Connemara landscape.
This painting is part of the Rügen collection, where she reflects on the emotional geography of island life and how the land we grow up in continues to shape our perception—especially in moments of stillness. Her use of colour is intuitive and emotionally driven, balancing calm and contrast. The subtle gradations in the sky and hills invite the viewer somewhere between presence and memory.
Orfhlaith’s wider body of work moves fluidly between traditional painting and digital transformation. Each piece—whether on canvas or screen—carries the influence of the Irish landscape: its ever-changing light, elemental drama, and the deep sense of time embedded in stone, water, and weather. Her practice is an ongoing exploration of how landscape lives within us, how it can ground and transport us, and how colour can be both a language and a feeling.
