The Art of Intuition
I’m an abstract artist based in Belfast, creating expressive, textured paintings that explore movement, emotion, and materiality. Each piece evolves intuitively through layers of paint - poured, scraped, and rebuilt - until a sense of balance emerges.
My work invites a moment of pause. Through colour and texture, I explore the rhythm between chaos and stillness - translating what words often can’t.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
I bought an amazing little abstract painting from Emma a few months ago. Every time I look at it takes me to a wonderfully calm place and something new is revealed.
Her service was second to none. The painting was delivered with the frame I requested and by the artist in person!👌🏼

I've bought 2 of Emma's amazing paintings and absolutely love them. I see something new in them every time I look at them. They're intriguing and beautiful. Emma herself was a pleasure to deal with during my visit to her studio. Highly recommended!

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
I've been a fan of Emma Kinlough's work for years, and when I saw her most recent paintings appearing online, this one drew me in. Though small in scale, Whispers Through the Pines feels almost infinitely expansive and the abstracted layers reveal a little bit more every time I look. This piece is a pleasure to live with.
Alastair, Ballynure
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
It was hard to pick just one of Emma's pieces to buy, but I was delighted with my choice. It’s the kind of artwork that quietly transforms a space, adding sophistication and emotion without overpowering it. The layers and textures draw you in immediately, revealing more depth the longer you look and everyone who sees it always comments on it and asks where it is from.
Gareth, Antrim.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Emma has managed to create art with both depth and dynamism. Her ability to create colours and patterns which are interpreted by each individual is brilliant, I’ve one of her paintings in my living room and I love the conversations it creates. Just what art is for.

The Language of Texture
This collection is part of my ongoing Mini Series, which continues my exploration of abstraction - where gesture meets structure, and texture becomes language. I work with materials ranging from oils, acrylics to household emulsions, allowing each medium to shape its own story.
Every painting reflects an ongoing conversation between intuition and control - a process that leaves traces of movement, time, and emotion layered within the surface.
