Hi, my name is Angelika and I am an artist and writer based in Greystones, Co. Wicklow.

I like to describe my art as “controlled chaos”; like waves crashing into land, a steady, calming rhythm that follows no rules but always tells a story.

And telling stories is what I love. The same way that a book is telling a story to the reader, I want each of my paintings to tell a unique story to the viewer. I love creating big pieces of art with so many details that there is always something new to discover, whether you look at it from afar or from up close.

I have always been drawn to colours and design, having worked in Fashion for many years before moving to Ireland. Here, I finally made the “jump” to become a full time artist. When I am not painting, I write cosy fantasy novels and enjoy going on long walks with my two dogs, exploring the woods, mountains and beaches.

The surroundings that I get to experience every day serve as my biggest inspiration. Watching a sunrise over the sea, going in for a cold swim or just smelling the salty air - everything makes me feel so connected to the nature around me. Capturing this special feeling is what I aim for in my paintings, often using natural pigments and materials such as sand, dried seaweeds and reclaimed fishing rope from the many beaches in Wicklow.
