Mary O'Connor is a distinguished abstract artist whose work explores the intricate relationships between color, texture, and spatial depth. Based in Dublin, Ireland, she has developed a unique visual language that prioritizes emotional resonance over literal representation. Her practice often involves building up numerous layers of paint and then selectively stripping them back to reveal hidden histories within the canvas. This additive and subtractive process creates a sense of weathered permanence, suggesting the passage of time or the erosion of natural landscapes.

Her compositions frequently feature a sophisticated palette of muted earth tones punctuated by sudden, vibrant accents. These shifts in color serve to guide the viewer’s eye through complex geometric arrangements and organic forms. O'Connor draws significant inspiration from the rugged Irish coastline and the shifting light patterns found in rural environments. Rather than painting these scenes directly, she translates the feeling of the atmosphere into non-representational arrangements that invite personal interpretation.

Throughout her career, O'Connor has maintained a commitment to the physical properties of her medium. She often incorporates mixed media elements such as sand, wax, or found materials to enhance the tactile quality of her surfaces. This focus on materiality ensures that each piece possesses a distinct physical presence. Her contributions to the modern art scene in Ireland and abroad have been recognized through various exhibitions and private collections. By focusing on the internal logic of the painting rather than external subjects, May O'Connor continues to challenge viewers to engage with art on a purely sensory and intuitive level.
