Profile
D!VE is an Irish visual artist. Originally from Cork, he studied Graphic Design at the Limerick School of Art & Design. In pursuit of further artistic development, he traveled to Berlin where he used his skills in visual communications combined with a passion for screen print to develop his practice as a printmaker and a creator. D!VE began his artistic journey as teenager heavily influenced by street art culture, he was drawn in by the lawlessness but he stayed for the creative outlet…and the smell of the paint.
D!VE’s artistic practice focuses on creating snapshots of moments that never happened. Visualising objects disassembling in zero gravity to create highly detailed images outside the limitations of traditional composition, revealing components and structures that would be otherwise hidden depending on the angle. This concept is fueled by Picasso’s words, ‘Every act of creation begins as an act of destruction’.
