Irish Painter, Fiona Power is making Waves in Portugal this Summer.

This Exhibition will unveil the strong Irish Portuguese Ties that are present along the Portuguese coast. The Igreja/Galeria de So Tiago will host the "Coast to Coast - Costa à Costa" exhibition beginning on July 13^th and running through August 19^th.

The oil paintings in the artist's solo show are inspired by the historic seaside ties between Portugal and Ireland.

This exhibition, sponsored by the Municipality of Reguengos de Monsaraz, will be a special artistic celebration of the exceptional ties that the two countries have shared since antiquity, represented through paintings of the stunning Irish coastline by one of Ireland's most accomplished painters.

Fiona spoke of her work and said: “Working mostly in oils, I employ a variety of techniques and materials. I’m inspired by the beauty of colour and the emotion of the ethereal moments of change in the light and atmosphere of a particular place and time. I hope that my paintings bring about that same feeling for the place and time in the viewer and that they connect with the work on an emotional level.”

Fiona’s is an extremely talented and experienced painter who graduated from Sligo IT, and now lives on West Cork’s coast where she gets her inspiration for her exceptional coastal paintings.

If you’re near the Alentejo area, then it’s well worth a visit to Fiona Powers exhibition.

A passionate Irish journalist with a love for cycling, politics and of course Portugal especially their sausage rolls.
