About the Item
County Mayo Ireland is a very special place. My dear old friend Grace ended up settling here with her husband. Hers is a story of romance, love, illness, hope and dreams that resonated deeply with me. She sent me pictures of her new homeland that were no less than magical. Grace has a heart of gold. I felt gifted to be in touch with her again and to try to imagine the journey that took her to a most unusual place. Home to some of the most gorgeous views of mountains and ocean, this image of County Mayo Sunset, sparked my earliest memory - that of my mother approaching me from a distance. I remember thinking – “that beautiful woman is my mother and I love her and why can’t I get to her?" I marveled at her dark thick hair, her slender figure and a face that Da Vinci would have painted. Seeing her, filled my heart with warmth. She had put me in a room with a French door that was locked. As she came closer, I could see her pull the skeleton key from her apron to open the door to take me to dinner.
Recently I asked my mother about this memory. She confirmed I was 2 years old and all the details i have given are correct.
County Mayo Sunset triggered one of the most important memories of my life. If I could paint what I felt at that moment, it would be colors that embodied a deep warmth within my pure infant heart – it would be this County Mayo Sunset. Rare pigments in this work include lead-tin orange, lead-tin yellow and lapis lazuli blue.

Tom Irizarry Studio
The studio is my laboratory, and a Magical place. The possibility of creating a work of art that resonates so deeply, it cannot be unseen or unheard, drives me. Creative forces enable me to observe and infuse New York and Chicago urbanscapes with bold energy and deep feeling, I put a body on an invisible entity. Yes, they are representational, however, the pictorial effect forms a communication to the viewer. Some might call it alchemy, that finds its way in my paintings as a strong unavoidable vibration from my own hand and the materials I use. Tom Irizarry is a man who does not compromise in any avenue of life and especially in making paintings. My work, like myself, stands firm on it's own ground. If you can see a fraction of what goes through my imagination as I am painting, well then my job is complete.
