Artists of Mallorca
Leo O' Donnell
I am from Derry, Northern Ireland and studied Design Illustration at the University of Plymouth. This is where I fell in love with the process of relief printmaking and after graduating 2009 I have been working freelance and exhibiting. For the last eight years I have been a resident in Soller, Mallorca where there is no shortage of inspiration and creativity.

This is the first print I produced on the island. During my first year here I used to cycle back from the Port to Soller after work, and every time there was a full moon rising over the mountains I found awe inspiring. I had to try my very best to capture it!

I love the olive trees on Mallorca, each is as unique and different as the next. One day while walking in Raixa I sketched these olive trees and began cutting the lino immediately. I had just recently bought a cutting tool that is 0.5 mm so I used this print as an exercise in detail. Doing my best to pick out each individual leaf on the tree and lines on the trunk.
