Nonahc

Nonahc is an Irish painter born in the 1980s who lives and works in Dublin.

He developed his taste for colour as a teenager. While studying interior design, he took evening classes at the Paris municipal college, where he met several professionals who encouraged him to paint.

After artistic residencies in Asia, his work evolved into a unique fusion of figurative representation and contemporary abstraction.

The painter likes to create a dialogue between tradition and modernity, using quick, fragmented brushstrokes. His colours are intense and saturated, creating emotional worlds: blue for calm, red for passion, green for contemplation.

Nonahc's style is immediately recognisable: enigmatic female figures, often in half-profile and often inspired by Eastern influences, complemented by spectacular floral compositions. Flowers and organic forms function as a visual metaphor for interiority, memory or dreams.

Nonahc pursues a constant exploration of the relationship between symbolic nature, emotional perception and contemporary aesthetics.

His portraits are windows: faces turned towards an inner world, with thoughts that we can guess at. The flowers that spring up around them represent nature, inner life, memory, and overflowing imagination.
