Patrick Costigaan

Patrick Costigaan is a contemporary Irish artist known for his evocative landscapes and explorations of memory and place. Born in County Clare, Costigaan has drawn lifelong inspiration from the rugged beauty of Ireland’s west coast, weaving the shifting moods of sea and sky into his richly textured canvases. He studied fine art at the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, where he honed a distinctive style marked by expressive brushwork and a sensitive use of color.

Over the past decade, Costigaan’s work has appeared in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Ireland and the UK, earning acclaim for its lyrical depiction of the Irish landscape as both a physical and emotional terrain. Deeply influenced by the traditions of Irish painting as well as by international currents in contemporary art, Costigaan’s paintings invite viewers to contemplate their own connections to land, memory, and identity. He continues to live and work in Clare, where the wild Atlantic horizon remains a constant presence in his art.
