ADW

ADW is a renowned Irish artist celebrated for his bold stencil and spray paint murals that fuse street art with a distinctive imagination and unmistakable style. His journey into the creative world began at Ballyfermot College in Dublin, where he spent five years studying animation and computer design. This foundation led him to Britain, where he worked in the video game industry before returning to Ireland in 2005 to explore 3D architectural modelling. However, disillusioned by the digital realm, particularly in the wake of the 2008 economic downturn, he turned back to his true passion: creating art that connects with people on a visceral level.

For over 15 years, ADW has carved out a name for himself as a prominent artist in Irish street art. His thought-provoking murals and exhibitions have transformed urban landscapes, capturing both social commentary and raw emotion. His work has been commissioned by local councils, the Arts Council, and major global brands, including Google and Jameson Ireland. One of his most ambitious projects, a sprawling 150-square-meter mural in Castleisland, Co. Kerry, stands as a testament to his scale, skill, and creativity.

Blending bold street art techniques with intricate layering and storytelling, he creates visually striking works that challenge perspectives and spark conversation. Whether through large-scale murals or gallery exhibitions, his work continues to push boundaries, reflecting the ever-evolving world around him.
