Eibhlín Duffy AKA 'DUBH' is an Irish-Scottish multi-disciplinary artist based in Belfast, County Antrim.

Utilizing a combination of spray-painting, traditional illustration and physical sculpture, their work exists as a visual representation of the intensity in feeling, experience and trauma.  Having grown up deeply ingrained in Belfast’s alternative scene, their work acts as a mouthpiece to express feelings of otherness, using stark line and colour contrast to reflect on the brash reality of being different. Duffy is an emerging visual artist with an interest in what's on our minds.

Drawing inspiration from personal struggle, post-conflict society and gender identity, DUBH seeks to hold heavy conversation in a visual space, creating form and figure with detail that can't be caught at first glance. Highlighting difficulties in a post-conflict Irish society, DUBH considers the fact we are quick to laugh off our own pain, and that our success is quickly deemed by others as 'having notions.' They cite size and place as mediums that are overlooked in artistic practice, and consistently yearn to go bigger, and to say more.

A graduate of Belfast School of Art with a BA in Illustration, Eibhlín received first-class honours alongside the 2026 UsFolk Illustration prize. They have been included in multiple festivals across the UK and Ireland such as Look Up Portsmouth 2025, Hit The North 2026 and Can-Al Fest 2026.
