Abstract
This research examines the concept of ekphrasis and how it has effectively combined the visual arts with other well-known artistic forms to present a cohesive, harmonious front. Through ekphrasis, this study aims to bridge the gap between various creative genres, from video/visual to written/poetic. This paper examines a number of Ailbhe Darcy’s poems using a qualitative analytical method. Technology, art, and literature come together in a unique way as a result of this ekphrastic technique. The core of ekphrasis is found in both the blurring of boundaries between many creative art genres and the richness of poetic imagery found in the verses. Simply, ekphrasis enables conversation between the verbal and the visual through details of descriptions. The results indicate that art creative processes, both in their creation and presentation, are evolving along with technology. This study reveals how words affect both viewers and non-viewers of tangible artwork. Keywords: Art, ekphrasis, Darcy, artwork, technology, visual art, imagery.
