Passing Phase Painting

Lauren O’Sullivan is an Irish–English artist now living in the Canary Islands, Spain. Her practice is deeply rooted in nature, ancestral memory, and the healing power of creative expression. Lauren originally studied Fashion Design in the UK, but her path took a transformative turn over the past 15 years as she dedicated herself to teaching and studying Yoga. This work immersed her in the fields of trauma recovery and embodied healing, where she witnessed the profound relationship between body, memory, and transformation. Her art practice draws inspiration from neuroaesthetics, exploring how art and beauty can impact the brain, body, and emotional well-being. Returning to natural materials—earth pigments, clay, terracotta, oils blended with modern synthetics—she creates works that reflect organic form and the process of integration, cycles of change, and the imprints carried through time. At the heart of her work lies a dialogue between the personal and the ancestral, the body and the land, the ephemeral and the enduring. Each piece is both a meditation and an offering—an exploration of connection, memory, and the quiet strength found in imperfection. “I make work that pulls us back to the ground—back to what’s raw, imperfect, and real.”
