About Mykola Babiy: Contemporary Ukrainian-Irish Artist

If you are looking for expressive fine art that bridges cultures, I am Mykola Babiy, a contemporary Ukrainian-Irish artist based in Dublin. For over 25 years, I have been creating vibrant oil and acrylic paintings that blend classical craftsmanship with contemporary expression. Specifically, my work explores the connections between tradition and modern life through bold brushwork and rich textures.

Artistic Style and Mastery

I believe that art should celebrate creativity and identity. Consequently, I work across many genres, including reimagined masterpieces, figurative compositions, and impressionist cityscapes. Because I am deeply influenced by my Ukrainian roots and my life in Ireland, my paintings often evoke feelings of hope and cultural memory. Additionally, I regularly participate in plein-air events like “Art in the Open” to capture the immediate beauty of the Irish landscape.

Where to Find My Work

You can find me selling my original paintings most weekends at the Merrion Square Open-Air Art Market in Dublin. Moreover, I frequently exhibit at the People’s Art exhibitions on St. Stephen’s Green. For instance, many collectors enjoy meeting me in person to discuss the stories behind each piece. Alternatively, my latest works and timelapse process videos are available on my Instagram and Facebook.

Custom Art Commissions

In addition to my studio work, I welcome direct commissions for portraits and custom-designed paintings. Specifically, I tailor each piece to suit individual themes or interior spaces. As a result, you receive a textured, expressive artwork that is deeply connected to your personal story. Finally, please visit my Shop to see all currently available original oil paintings for sale.
