Textured figurative painting with three ghostlike figures walking across a darkened surface. The background features a faint, glowing cityscape. The figures appear fractured and luminous against a deep, moody blue sky.
Weathered figures beneath a bold red sky reflect emotions like passion, love, and transformation, with the promise of a better day.
Textured figurative painting with a single figure in the foreground looking toward a distant figure under a pale full moon. Soft pink and blue tones suggest dusk or early morning. A faint city skyline with towers appears on the horizon. The mood is reflective, solitary, and tinged with loss.
Abstract red sky descending over grounded figures, symbolising colonial violence and collective resilience in Ireland and Palestine.
Textured figurative painting with three tall, abstracted figures standing side by side. The background is a deep blue, the ground a rough, earthy red. Each figure appears worn, luminous, and emotionally distinct.
A lone figure stands against a red backdrop, representing self-reflection and emotional transformation. Bold, cathartic, and deeply moving.
Abstract figurative painting showing a lone textured figure standing before a dark, atmospheric background. The mood is quiet, distant, and emotionally charged.
Painting with a lone figure standing in a textured yellow-orange field, facing a deep red vertical strip. Dark mounds are scattered across the ground, evoking ritual or memory. The scene suggests personal transformation, grief, and the emotional tension of change.
Abstract painting in rich purples, blues, and pinks, with layered textures suggesting soft tree forms and reflected light. Evokes the mood of a midnight walk beneath jacaranda trees lit by neon.
Abstract painting with warm, textured reds and oranges. A single eye is embedded in the surface, with a thin line below it suggesting a tear. The piece evokes silent emotion, memory, and deep presence.
Original painting Xavier’s Lost Soul by Irish artist Anthony Carey. Award-winning abstract self-portrait with layered figures and textured surface.

Transcript of Artist Insights Video

This piece, The Ancestors, is a reflection on the layers of history and identity that we all carry. The two central faces here invite contemplation, and if we examine the work closer, we'll see hidden faces and hidden elements.

Under a Blood Red Sky explores migration and transformation. The figures blur the lines between warriors and wanderers, raising questions about survival and renewal. The red ground and sky evoke conflict, passion, and the promise of new beginnings. It's a story of courage—both the struggle and the hope for what's to come.

In The Last Fisherman, I reflect on the loss of traditions and the tension between rural and urban life. The fisherman stands as a symbol of resilience, memory, and adaptation. The Poolbeg Towers anchor the piece in modernity, reminding us of the sacrifices and choices that come with change.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my work. Each piece tells a story—personal yet universal—and I hope to inspire reflection and connection. If you'd like to learn more or inquire about any of the works, please feel free to reach out. I'd be delighted to share more about their journey. Thank you.
