Description
Secrets by Seamus Kenna
In Secrets, the painting captures the hidden struggles that lie beneath the surface. Against a storm of fiery oranges and restless yellows, watchful green eyes emerge from above, holding a quiet intensity. Below, two faces confront each other, yet together they form a single fractured visage — a haunting symbol of duality, inner conflict, and the truths we keep concealed.
The painting draws the viewer into the tension between revelation and concealment, asking: what happens when what is hidden comes face to face with itself?
A striking work of expressionist energy and layered meaning, Secrets is both unsettling and magnetic — a true conversation piece.
Seamus Kenna is a self-taught artist from Dublin, Ireland, whose work explores the intersections of emotion, memory, and the human condition. His paintings often balance on the edge of surrealism and expressionism, drawing viewers into vivid dreamscapes where distorted figures, symbolic imagery, and bold colors tell layered stories.
With a raw and intuitive style, Seamus translates themes of inner conflict, social struggle, and fleeting joy onto canvas. His pieces reveal both the intensity and fragility of life—portraying fractured faces, melting clocks, and ghostlike figures that challenge us to look inward.
Deeply rooted in a desire to capture truth beyond surface appearances, Seamus’ art invites dialogue about mental health, society, and the passage of time. Each work is both personal and universal, offering glimpses into hidden struggles and shared human experiences.
Based in Dublin, Seamus continues to develop his practice, creating thought-provoking works that resonate with viewers on both emotional and psychological levels. His art asks us not just to see, but to feel.
