About Dara Park

Much of my work seeks to express connections to different realities beyond my own.  I like there to be a narrative behind the images and I love colour and the capture of movement so these are the elements that contribute to the whole.

Time spent living in Japan and France and journeys within Europe, Asia and South Africa have been particularly inspirational. 

Most of my work is based on my own drawings and photographs but it is also sometimes inspired by images from photo-journalism found on the web and in newspapers.  I pay homage and am indebted to all those extraordinary photographers and particularly to those who have worked in zones of conflict who have contributed to the lexicon of my compositions.
