Seán O'Neill

I was born in London, have lived in Dublin most of my life, and also in France for about a year in total. I've always painted; as a way to process what I see around me, as entertainment- to take a detour from one's surroundings, and as a form of commentary.
One of the things that motivates me is the belief that we as individuals can and should have the freedom to do as we see fit, as long as nobody gets harmed in the process. This comes through in the multitude of techniques and materials I use to make my paintings. If it's there why not use it?
