The inspiration for this piece comes from the rugged beauty of Port in Donegal, one of the most remote spots near the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape here is shaped by its close relationship with the vast, untamed ocean, and it’s home to a collection of smooth, unusual white pebbles that stand out against the wild backdrop.

Port, with its unique atmosphere, became the perfect muse for capturing the essence of these extraordinary pebbles. The remoteness of the area adds an authentic, raw beauty to the scene, reflecting the untamed spirit of the Atlantic coast. There’s something about the isolation of the place that makes everything feel untouched and pure.

By focusing on these white pebbles, I wanted to pay tribute to the simple, yet remarkable elements that nature shapes over time. Each one tells a story of endurance and the constant forces of the ocean. This painting invites the viewer to experience the tactile and visual appeal of Port’s coastline, where every pebble is a quiet testament to the power of nature.
