Artist - Siobhan Doyle
An Irish artist living in the heart of Tuscany.
"Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, I bring a fusion of tradition and contemporary vision to the art of serigraphy. Specializing in hand-printed silkscreens, I craft each piece meticulously, ensuring that no two prints are ever truly alike.
At the core of my practice are two distinct yet deeply interconnected narratives: original Celtic designs and contemporary landscapes. My Celtic works pay homage to an ancient artistic heritage, reimagining intricate motifs with a modern sensibility. In contrast, my landscape prints capture the changing light and textures of the natural world, evoking fleeting moments with a dynamic, painterly quality.
What sets my work apart is my distinctive approach to colour. I mix and blend pigments as I print, embracing the fluidity and spontaneity of the medium. This process ensures that each print is a singular creation with subtle variations that make every piece unique. This organic approach breathes life into my work, transforming each silkscreen into an unrepeatable expression of movement, texture, and depth.
By weaving together history and modernity, tradition and innovation, I create prints that feel both timeless and immediate—imbued with a spirit that is unmistakably my own."
Composed by ChatGPT in the voice of an art critic, because I find it really difficult to write about myself!
Celtic Letters
This series of prints has a long and proud history. Inspired in particular by the Book of Kells, it was started by my father Steven Doyle in the early 70's. Initially it was just a few prints with pairs of letter designs. Over the years the designs changed and the series developed to include most of the letters of the alphabet
When my father passed away in 1994, the series passed to me and the series has continued to evolve.
Gaelic-Uncial Alphabeth
The Irish uncial alphabet originated in medieval manuscripts as a variant of the Latin alphabet and was in common usage until the mid 1900's. You will still see it on road signs in Ireland.
It consists of 18 letters, with the letters b,d, and g formed differently from the Latin alphabet.
NOTE: Since there is no letter "v" in the alphabet, "bh" is pronounced as "v". Hence, my name Siobhan, is pronounced "Shih-von".
Technique
Materials

Sericol screen printing ink - This is a very high-quality colour medium with excellent pigment quality and a high resistance to UV light. This means you can hang your print in areas exposed to bright light without risking damaging the printed area
Technique
HAND PRINTED SILKSCREENS - SERIGRAPHS
Using inks of different consistencies, I mix and blend my colours as I print. This means no two prints will have exactly the same colour tones.
