NONACH is an Irish painter born in the 80s who lives and creates in Dublin.

He developed his taste for color from his adolescence. A student of interior design, he attended evening classes at the Paris municipality, where he met several professionals who encouraged him to paint.

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

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

NONACH's style is instantly recognizable: enigmatic female figures, often in half-profile and frequently inspired by oriental influences, combined with spectacular floral compositions. The flowers and organic forms function as a visual metaphor for interiority, memory, or dreams.
NONACH pursues a constant research around the relationship between symbolic nature, emotional perception and contemporary aesthetics.

His portraits are like windows: faces turned towards an inner world, with thoughts that can be guessed. The flowers that spring up around them represent nature, inner life, memory, and overflowing imaginative energy.
