About Paul

Paul Byrne is an Irish artist whose practice centres on identity, exploring how people understand themselves and connect with others through shared experience. Working across public art, participatory projects and emerging technologies such as augmented reality, his work brings together personal reflection and collective storytelling. Byrne collaborates closely with communities of all ages, from youth groups to older adults, creating inclusive processes that prioritise authorship, wellbeing and meaningful engagement. His projects, supported by organisations including the Arts Council of Ireland and Creative Ireland, are grounded in the belief that creativity can open up conversations, strengthen connection and create lasting impact within both individuals and communities.
