Soul Paintings

A Soul Painting is an original artwork Finbar makes with you, an impression of who you are, created in the space of an hour and yours to keep.

You sit with him, online from anywhere in the world or in person at his studio in Galway on the west coast of Ireland, while the painting takes shape.

An original painting, created in your presence.

How it's made

You sit with Finbar and he talks with you. As you speak, he shares what he sees, and from that an impression of the artwork forms. He then creates it there in the moment, in your presence, from start to finish.

The making takes around an hour. You don't need to arrive with anything or prepare in any way. You're simply invited to be present while the work is made, and to be part of the creative process as it unfolds.

Each painting is made in whatever medium feels most aligned to you on the day, oil pastel, watercolour, or another. No two are ever the same.

Book a Soul Painting

Online or in person

A Soul Painting can be made online over Zoom or in person at Finbar's Galway studio. The price and the experience are the same, whichever you choose.

Online means Finbar can create one with you wherever you are in the world, and it lets him make them while travelling too. In person, his studio is a welcoming space to come and have yours made, and to take it home with you on the day.

An invitation

A Soul Painting is for anyone. There's nothing to know beforehand and nothing you need to be ready for. If you're drawn to the work, that's enough. It's simply an invitation to sit, be present, and receive a piece made only for you.

What people are saying

Doing a soul painting with Finbar was such a unique and special experience - one to remember and one with impact I know I will feel for years to come ! I was blown away by both the speed and accuracy in which Finbar could see and read my energy, knowing and speaking to things that only I have felt on a soul level. The acknowledgement, clarity and validation I received from my time with Finbar was deeply empowering, healing and liberating. The amount of information he was able to articulate and relay was both immensely impressive and positively impactful. The whole process was incredibly supportive for where I am now and where I am going and I felt really at peace afterward.
Watching him create art in front of me while channelling was an experience in itself - I’ve never seen anybody work with energy in this way. It really is a unique experience and I now have a beautiful vibrant one-of-a-kind piece of art to now anchor the whole experience in my own home. A reminder of the unique piece of art we all are !
Thank you Finbar

A unique experience. The Soul painting is a reflection of what Finbar seen in energy for me. I absolutely love it and will cherish it dearly.

I would describe the sitting I had with Finbar as both simple and profound. A very calm process on Zoom where Finbar shared what he was seeing and feeling and then moved to colouring what he felt. I sat in silence on the other side of the screen and when he was finished he held up what he had created and it was an expression of what he had felt, but it also connected to so many threads of things that had shown up for me across a number of years in one simple Soul Painting. It still hasn't fully arrived inside me, but I was quite taken aback by how simple and short the process was, and at the same time the profound impact his words and intuitively led Soul Painting had when revealed. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in something unique for you or someone you care deeply about. This is deeply personal, and if having meaning or purpose in life is important to you, this time with Finbar and the Soul Painting can really give you a sense of your "raison d'être". A little spark to remind yourself that you matter, when nobody else has the words.
