Regarded as one of Ireland’s most accomplished fine art painters, Martin Mooney was born in 1960, in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Mooney graduated from the Brighton College of Art & Design and the prestigious Slade School of Fine Art, where he completed his Masters in Fine Art painting. Mooney’s outstanding technical ability, together with his keenness to look to the past for inspiration, has gained him appreciation over the years from a number of admirers including his tutors at Slade, Euan Uglow and Sir Lawrence Gowing. He also gained attention from the London Evening Standard’s art critic Brian Sewell who had written an essay, in 1990 for Mooney’s first solo exhibition at Dublin’s Solomon Gallery and spoke glowingly of this ‘fine painter with a natural intelligence’ who had taken up the mantle of the past. Since his first solo exhibition, Mooney has had numerous sell-out exhibitions in Dublin, London, Toronto and New York.
Mooney has been known to build up his paintings using glazed layers, often bathed in a golden hue. Whether his paintings are set in Dublin or Venice, Gerona or Donegal they all have a similarity. He paints architecture, countryside and still life using enriched tones, rich reds and pale blues.
In an exhibition in 2007, at the James Adam Auctioneers in Dublin, Mooney gave a new desire to paint floral still life and landscapes of Donegal. He wanted to challenge himself as an artist and create new subject matters, which has led him to be an even more accomplished painter.
Now based in rural Donegal, Mooney’s landscapes are informed by his absorption of plein air painting. His billowing cloud formations and insertions of unexpected colour epitomise Mooney’s new relationship with colour and form, along with a new sense of fluidity and freedom.

- De Wit Flowers Still life Paint Oil on canvas 18th Century Flemish Cupids ArtLocated in Riva del Garda, ITJacob De Wit (Amsterdam, 1695 - 1754) attributable/ workshop Pair of Cupids with Garland of Flowers Oil on canvas 91 x 103 cm. - Framed 104 x 115 cm. Provenance: Christie's (London, Old master Painting 12.12.1996) lot 82 This magnificent composition depicts two cupids holding a garland of flowers, placed on a fine architecture with bas-reliefs and masks, presumably the top of a fountain. One of the two cupids sympathetically holds a part of it with his hands, while his head turns towards the viewer; the second cupid, on the other hand, must have clumsily broken the thread holding its end, and is sitting sullenly with a torch and a tear streaking his chubby cheek. The work, given its stylistic features and compositional taste, can be attributed to the Flemish artist Jacob de Wit (Amsterdam, 1695 - 1754), or to an artist from his workshop, with his typical triumphal and opulent style, which reveals clear influences from Rubens and Van Dijck, but also from Gerard de Lairesse...Category
