ABOUT


Amanda Mulquiney-Birbeck is a British figurative and urban landscape painter, based in Altrincham, Greater Manchester. Born in Berkshire in 1987, Amanda graduated with First Class Honours in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins, London, in 2009. Since then, her work has been exhibited widely in UK galleries and art fairs, most recently at the Manchester Buy Art Fair, and has attracted a dedicated following among collectors both in the UK and internationally. Her pieces have also been featured in prominent art publications, establishing her as a unique voice in contemporary British art.

INSPIRATION

Amanda’s background in marketing and visual storytelling shapes her instinctive approach to composition and narrative. Drawing from her own photography, found imagery, and plein-air studies, she explores a space between realism and painterly abstraction.

Influenced by Gustav Klimt, Peter Doig and Martine Johanna, her work blends elements of fashion, cinema and vintage Americana — moving between intimate portraits and moody urban scenes.
