Polymer coating, raw silk powder and oil on canvas. The canvas is mounted on a wooden frame, making the artwork ready for display without the need for additional framing. This piece was crafted using high-quality Kremer pigments and a hand-stretched canvas weighing 380g. A delicate layer of varnish safeguards the artwork from UV exposure and dust accumulation. The signature of the artist is located on the reverse side, and the artwork comes with a certificate of authenticity.
About my work:
"Fintan Whelan delves into the intricate interplay between light, color, and texture in his artistic oeuvre. Utilizing translucent layers of silk and oil, he masterfully captures a fluid and organic energy that imbues his paintings with a palpable sense of movement. Through his adept manipulation of these materials, Whelan cultivates a distinctive visual experience that not only showcases the beauty and complexity of nature but also invites viewers into a contemplative space.
His artistry embodies a delicate equilibrium between stillness and motion, engendering a mesmerizing interplay of shapes and hues that captivates the observer's attention. With each creation, Whelan ventures beyond the confines of traditional art, continuously engaging in experimentation with innovative techniques. The outcome is a remarkable collection of works that resonate deeply with the soul and stimulate the imagination, transcending the boundaries of undefined artistic expression. Whelan's commitment to exploring new dimensions of creativity ensures that his art remains a profound source of inspiration for all who encounter it."

Presentation
Fintan Whelan's method of painting is characterised by an immediacy of process and an urgency of vision, which he has been developing over several years. Despite the appearance of serendipity, Whelan's technique involves constant assessment, measurement and exploration of pigments and their configurations, combined with varnishes, oils and a variety of materials.
The challenge that Whelan's art constitutes his motivation - that is to create resonances between or among the senses by exploiting the ever-changing detail of light and texture. His abstracts are worlds eliciting a multitude of emotional and intellectual responses that we, as viewers, must resolve.
Fintan Whelan was born in Dublin and has spent his adult life in Ireland, Spain and Germany (his current home). His work has been exhibited and acquired by numerous collectors across North America, Europe and Australia, and featured in prominent residential projects in UK and USA.
Artist in residence at Chelsea Harbour Design Centre (London) and member of BBK (Federal Association of German Fine Artists).
