Danielle O'Connor Akiyama | The Pull of Home

Danielle O'Connor Akiyama
The Pull of Home
Original oil painting

The Pull of Home is one of the most personally resonant titles in Danielle O'Connor Akiyama's practice — the specific quality of longing for a place, the force that draws a person back regardless of distance or time. For an artist who moved from Canada to the west coast of Ireland in pursuit of the unearthly beauty she found there, the pull of home is both a personal and a universal subject: the place that forms you, that continues to exert its gravity even when you are elsewhere.

Her layered oil technique — enriched with gold, quartz, and diamond tailings — gives the painting a luminous warmth that suits the emotional register of its subject. Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
