MEET KIERAN GUCKIAN
Born in Dublin, Ireland, Kieran's art journey began with a love of ornithology and drawing birds. His first mentor and teacher was Sister Maureen McMahon, founder of the High Loft painting group. Kieran went on to attend Crawford College of Art and Design graduating with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art Painting.
Fine art has always been his greatest love and after a career in the tech industry Kieran took the step to become a full time artist.
Painting the landscape outside (en plein air) is central to Kieran's current practice, capturing in real time the light and feeling of places that inspire him. His location work informs his larger, more conceptual studio pieces.
Kieran has exhibited in the RHA annual show and in 2025 reached the final of Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year where the three finalists painted Stonehenge.
He currently splits his time between painting on location and his studio in MART Studios in Dublin.
