I (Rioghnach Hardiman) am a Dublin born visual artist based in Dublin. I graduated from the National College of Art and Design, Dublin, in 2022 with a first class honours in fine art media and critical cultures :))))). I’m super proficient in photoshop & premiere pro. I am adept in filming and cinematography. I enjoy writing, it is the basis of all my work. I make rudimentary music and ceramics. Like many other Irish artists I am an awful monster. My main interests artistically lie in video, but I have maintained skill in illustration and sculpture. I am a gigantic disgusting cinephile too.
I moved to Berlin in April of 2023, and was engaged in Cuttings Atelier Artist Studio in Neuköln. I then moved to Leipzig in October of the same year, and have now returnted back to Dublin.
