Claire 'CiCi' O'Shea
welcomes you to her online gallery
Painting under the pseudonym ‘CiCi,’ Irish mixed-media artist Claire O’Shea, resides on the Southwest coast of Ireland. CiCi’s unique style is recognizable for its energetic compositions and saturated use of bold colours.
Her polychromatic art is also known for its versatility, as she seamlessly transitions from abstract to portrait and figurative art.
CiCi's expressive mixed media art is an emotive response and hopeful antidote to world and personal events. Nature, particularly the sea, plays a significant role, reflecting her upbringing on the wild Atlantic coast. CiCi aspires to infuse her vibrant aesthetic with light and hope, contributing to a more colourful life for those who resonate with her energetic creations.
