WATER DANCE is a mantra to soaring beyond boundaries with grace and boundless power. It’s a metaphor for endless possibilities, an acknowledgement of time which haunts, holds, and cuts through each painting. A system… in place which continuously tests his eventual acceptance and dialogue with the real world, in other words, an opening of windows to the world.
Laying the canvas flat lets Whelan proceed with a surgeon’s precision whilst not compromising or assuming what may come. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, his canvases swirl like painterly voyages of the consciousness and draw attention to the beauty, fragility and vulnerability of our environment.
“Water is flowing in the river,
And river is within me.”

« My abstract pieces form their own universe. »
Fintan Whelan is an Irish painter based in Germany, whose works have been exhibited throughout Ireland, the UK and Germany. Intrigued by the challenges of creating art, he seeks to capture resonances between the dynamic details of light and texture, and composes abstract pieces that evoke a plethora of varied emotional responses. Whelan harnesses the visual imagery of his memory to form the essence of his canvases, and undertakes a closely engaged technical process in which constant examination, measurement and reconfiguration push each work forward.
