At The Artist Residence, art is at the heart of our story. Our collections are inspired by the landscapes and light of two places we call home - the Dublin coastline, in Ireland and the Ribeira Sacra, in North West Spain. Through our galleries in Dublin and Spain, we present original works that reflect nature, travel, and the beauty of everyday moments.
The Artist Residence Spain 17 Cardenal, Monforte de Lemos, Galicia
Our Gallery in Spain is nestled in the heart of Ribeira Sacra and on the Winter Camino de Santiago. It celebrates the dramatic river valleys and canyons, historic pilgimins' walks, ancient monasteries, medieval villages, terraced vineyards, and extraordinary dramatic natural beauty. The region's shifting light and landscapes inspire paintings and through this gallery, we share works that capture the spirit, light and quiet poetry of this remarkable region of northern Spain.
All artwork is available online and in the physical shop at 17 Cardenal, Monforte de Lemos, Lugo, Spain.

STORKS, B. ALVAREZ
Storks returning and nesting among Roman wineries, ancient villages, monasteries, and rugged canyons herald the arrival of spring. Their presence is welcome by local communities and marks the renewal of nature and local traditions, a symbol of hope and life in this historic part of Spain.
