Maria Murphy

Behind the Art

Maria Murphy is a contemporary figurative Artist from Ireland working and living in Stockholm. She studied Fine Art Painting in the Limerick School of Art and Design Ireland and has exhibited in Sweden, Australia and Ireland. A wide range of imagery is used in her work from everyday life, historical artefacts, idealized images of social media and her own street photography.

Expressive brushstrokes and colourful pallets are used to invoke sensation and atmosphere. Colour acts as a fundamental element that adds a sometimes satirical commentary to her work.
