What is resin art?
Orla Doyle's resin art embodies a glossy form of artistic expression, featuring intricate natural details. Resin, resembling a clear liquid glass, is poured in its liquid state and gradually hardens over a 24-48 hour period.
Infusing the resin with pigments and acrylic inks during its liquid phase, Orla meticulously hand-pours it onto boards, crafting unique abstract pieces. The creation process spans 3-5 weeks, involving 5-7 layers of diverse media, including inks, pigments, spray paint, resin, acrylics, sand, and other mixed media.
Each artwork by Orla is a vibrant addition to any space, promising to infuse a burst of color into your surroundings.
