About

Ingrid Solan is a Dublin-born artist, raised in South London and now based in Hastings, UK. She studied Fine Art at Middlesex University, specialising in conceptual installations. Currently, she works primarily in oils, creating contemporary seascapes inspired by the unique light and expansive horizons of the Sussex coastline.

Ingrid’s work explores themes of perception, subjectivity, and the shared beliefs that shape social structures and moral frameworks. Her compositions, colour choices, and artwork titles reflect an interest in how individuals make decisions and form mental categories.

She describes the sea as a powerful metaphor for the human experience—encompassing freedom, sustenance, fear, and renewal.

Ingrid uses palette knives, fingers, and brushes to produce both abstract and representational landscapes, drawing inspiration from the beaches, cliffs, and hills of Sussex.

All painting's are oil on stretched, mounted and gesso primed, cotton canvas, canvas board or mounted wooden panel board, signed and available for sale. 

Ingrid also serves as the Curator and Manager at the Stables Theatre Art Gallery in Hastings, bringing creative vision to the heart of the seaside community.
