About Artist Bridget Fahy

Born in Limerick, Ireland. I gained a Degree in Fine Art Painting from Limerick School of Art & Design and a Post Graduate Diploma in Art Education. I taught Art in Schools in Limerick for eight years before moving to Cyprus, where I now paint full time from my Studio in Tala, Pafos.
My recent paintings attempt to describe the duality of mountain life in a rural part of Cyprus. The vibrancy of the colours of the plantations, is magnified by the great variety of shape and pattern of the land. I try to portray the utterable beauty of the landscape through the dramatic use of colour, this colour could easily blind us to the symbolic importance each acre of land has for its owner. This wonderful patchwork of shapes could hide the more profound meaning this land has for the people. Each person carries his patch of land in his very being. The black clad woman recalls this harch reality. She is our link to the past. Despite the back breaking labour of these workers, they portray a sense of belonging and love for the land.
