ABOUT THE ARTIST

​​

S. Patrick Murphy (b. 1969) is an Austro-British autodidact painter.

As a security consultant for various UN Missions, the International Criminal Court, EU CSDP or the Danish Refugee Council, he has lived and worked in Kosovo, Israel, Syria, Sudan, Uganda, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Chad, Iraq, the Central African Republic as well as Papua New Guinea, to only name a few.

 

In his art, Murphy mostly captures and assimilates the impressions and encounters gained during his years spent in stunningly beautiful yet hardship pockets of the world. His mostly abstract works are both testimony and catharsis.
