I was absolutely delighted and honoured to be invited back to exhibit again at TÉR Sóstó. The exhibition opened in December 2025 and continued until mid-February, and these are photos from the opening night. Beautiful photographs were captured on the evening by Nóra Kállainé Pokol – thank you so much for preserving such special moments. …
Page 72 of Ulysses (Penguin edition) was one I had been eagerly awaiting to interpret for my Colours of Ulysses series. The page is vibrant with colour and sensory imagery — “fire from foxeyes,” “eucalyptus trees,” “orangegroves,” “immense melonfields,” “olives,” “oranges,” “almonds,” “citrons” — all blurred together in a haze of “silver heat.” There was …

Some artworks just take hold of you. They won’t be rushed, and they certainly don’t settle for simplicity. Colours of Ulysses #068 was one of those pieces. Now, most of my artworks demand time — either at the conceptual stage or when I’m standing brush-in-hand at the canvas. But this one asked for something else …
Better late than never! 🎨✨I’m finally sharing some photos from my exhibition opening night last December — a very special evening indeed, as it was also the first-ever event held at TÉR, Sóstó! Huge thanks to Ági Horváth, Tamás Mikucza and their incredible team for not only getting the space ready in time, but making …
Last Friday, 21st March, was a special day for two remarkable women — my incredible Mum, Dorothy, and James Joyce’s wife, Nora Barnacle, who share the same birthday. I was back home in Dublin to celebrate my Mum’s birthday, and while there, David Corr and I took the opportunity to dive into some research and …
The first colour James Joyce introduces in Ulysses is yellow—“a yellow dressing gown.” A fitting choice, in my opinion, as yellow embodies both optimism and caution. It is the colour of sunlight, intellect, and energy, yet too much of it can signal a warning. Perhaps Joyce, ever the master of layered meanings, was subtly cautioning …
A heartfelt thank you to Doba István for not only nominating me as the first non-Hungarian artist to participate in the Zempléni Fesztivál (Aug. 9–19) but also for generously offering me his gallery space to showcase my latest Colours of Ulysses artworks. István owns a beautifully preserved, disused synagogue in Tarcal, which he lovingly maintains …
This stunning triptych is an abstract celebration of the vivid imagery and layered emotions found in pages 74, 75, and 76 of James Joyce’s Ulysses. Inspired by Bloom’s tender morning routine—sorting the mail, noticing a letter from his daughter Milly, who is working in Mullingar, while preparing breakfast for himself and his wife still in …

Art has the power to transport us, to evoke emotion, and to reflect the world through a unique lens. My latest abstract painting, In Art Colours, is a vibrant tribute to creativity, playfulness, and the simple joy of expression. With a palette of soft pastels—gentle pinks, serene blues, sunny yellows, and minty greens—it captures an …

Some artworks just flow. You start with a blank canvas, and suddenly, there’s a sense of determination that takes over—a strong and confident energy guiding each movement. This was exactly my experience with this piece, which I’ve titled “Transmigration.” As you can see, the bold brushstrokes in this painting exude a sense of clarity and …
