Welcome to the Enchanting World of Orkney

The Orkney archipelago, a tapestry of over 70 islands off the northeastern coast of Scotland, is a locus of haunting beauty that has inspired artists for centuries. With its dramatic cliffs, rolling green hills, and the vast expanse of the sky mirrored by the surrounding sea, Orkney’s landscapes are both a feast for the eyes and a muse for the canvas.

The history of Orkney is as deep and complex as the ancient layers of sandstone upon which it rests. Here, the Neolithic past stands still in the form of standing stones and the astonishingly well-preserved settlement of Skara Brae. The Norse heritage is felt through the island's place names and the saga of its Viking ancestors. This blend of captivating history and cultural depth makes Orkney an extraordinary place to visit and an evocative subject for paintings. Artists and visitors alike are drawn to the island's unique atmosphere where the veil between past and present seems whisper-thin.

Why Orkney Resonates with Artists

The sublime beauty of Orkney resonates with a Minimalist art style, stripping compositions down to their essence. The stark contrasts between land, sea, and sky, coupled with the soft palette of northern light, create scenes that are both simple and profound. The islands' landscapes offer a visual solace and a reminder of the earth's age-old dance with the elements.
