Ciara Agnew, hailing from County Louth, Ireland, is a distinguished artist known for her captivating journey in the world of visual arts. She proudly graduated with an Honours Degree in Fine and Applied Arts, with a specialization in painting, from the esteemed University of Ulster. Today, she channels her creative spirit from the comfort of her home studio and is affiliated with several prestigious artistic organizations, including Creative Spark Print Studio, Visual Artists Ireland, and AAEX.

Ciara's artistic odyssey has been marked by a series of solo and group exhibitions, each a testament to her talent and dedication. Her artistic prowess is further showcased by the acquisition of over a dozen of her artworks by the Office of Public Works.

Her contributions to the art world extend to public collections, notably the Smurfit Art Collection, Currents: Art of the State touring exhibition, Louth County Council, in addition to finding a cherished place in private collections spanning the globe, from Ireland to Australia, France, and the United States.

Her work is characterized by the deliberate use of horizontal and vertical strips and blocks of color. These colours often play at the edges, with some embracing a blurred or indefinite quality, while others remain impeccably straight. This is a deliberate technique, as Ciara seeks to cultivate tension between imperfection and precision, firmly believing that therein lies a deeper truth and greater expression.

The colours she employs are drawn from the well of memory, from the rich tapestry of life experiences and the things she has seen. Her creative process is highly experimental, a delightful dance with paint, materials, and color. Ciara's work is an evocative mirror reflecting her environment, although it never seeks to literally represent it. Instead, it captures the essence, the emotions, and the experiences, drawing viewers into a world where color and form are the storytellers. Ciara Agnew's art is a journey, an exploration, and a testament to the power of visual expression.
