Celtic Wings by Martina McAteer

These works are very ethereal with a sense of mythology and magic that is very much a part of Old Irish culture.The paintings are oils and gold leaf and have a wonderful dreamlike 'far away' quality to them.They are poetic in spirit,reflective and quite wistful! There is a flavour of angels and feathered freedom in the works that is stated in my own unique Irish way.Nature is portrayed in a sacred way full of mystery and knowledge,often symbolised as a beautiful woman.I often call my work ' a secret language of the heart'
