Niall Staines

Abduction

Niall Staines is a digital artist who uses digital distortion on both city and nature landscapes in order to convey surrealness in his art. His work is graphic, vibrant, and visually arresting. Being based in Ireland, nature is a consistent theme in his work, often turning serene landscapes into surreal dreamscapes. As said in an interview, Niall follows a theme of isolation in his work, which presents a place that is almost, but not quite reality. He works with not only nature but also the city since both play parts in his everyday life. To enchant those that view his art, Niall utilizes graphic distortion, almost like a glitch in reality.
