Description
This detailed coloured pencil drawing captures the essence of a charming Irish village scene. The historic storefront of Billy Mackesy’s Douglas Village Food serves as a reminder of Ireland’s rich architectural and cultural heritage. The soft, natural shades of Derwent pencils bring warmth to stone and brick textures, while the sunlit sky creates a timeless atmosphere. This work is secured with a protective medium to ensure durability. If you are looking for a unique, nostalgic slice of Ireland, this painting truly captures that. Can be framed – just email me!
Fatimie Ashyrova is a self-taught artist born in Uzbekistan in 1979. Although her passion for art began as a child, life led her down other paths until she returned to painting with a deep devotion at the age of 37.
Fatimie now lives in Ireland, after being forced to move due to the turbulent situation in the country, and began her artistic journey from scratch, independently studying and mastering the techniques of working with oil, watercolour and acrylics.
Her work combines realism, symbolic ornament and textural abstraction. Inspired by the traditions of her homeland, she often replaces human figures with symbolic floral forms in keeping with Islamic aesthetics, telling stories of culture, identity and resilience.
In her recent abstract series, she applies layered, textured brushstrokes, creating serene, imaginary worlds inspired by the Quranic vision of Paradise, and creates abstract floral paintings.
Fatimie’s art invites viewers to experience peace, spiritual reflection and quiet beauty found in both memory and imagination.
