Damien Carroll

I am fascinated by the small details of the world that are easily overlooked yet are essential in creating our larger vision of reality. My art emerges from careful attention to the environment and celebrates both the visible and the unseen connections that create our world.
Primarily self-taught, I began my artistic journey through painting in my late twenties. In 2008 as a landscape architect working with photography and Photoshop, I moved into the digital space of photo collage and discovered I could use my photographs like paint, blending and layering them into intricate compositions using techniques developed from painting with oils and acrylics.
My images seek to evoke a sense of wonder and tranquillity, to encourage reflection, and provide a visual sanctuary for the heart and space for the imagination. Each piece is a meditation on nature and the human experience, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the interwoven beauty of our shared reality.
