Padraig Macmiadhachain was born in Ireland, 1929, and has lived for the past 40 years on the Isle of Purbeck, in Dorset. He has painted widely in Ireland, Cuba, Mexico, South America, Morocco, USA, Western and Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East and Central Asia. He says: “I have painted all my working life. I love painting, and I have managed to live by it. I make some good paintings and loads of rubbish too (hopefully you won’t ever see the latter). I seem to have two moods in working, my usual love of pale greys and warm blacks that are all around me in Dorset and Cornwall, my lifelong fascination with fishing harbours and all their, to me, lovely smells (which I cannot paint)…and the colour and buzz of Buenos Aires and their ice cream and its fantastic colours.”
