About Iryna
How it all started?
I am an experienced artist primarily working with oil on canvas, graphics, watercolour and illustration. For most of my life I lived in Ukraine, where I studied and I eventually became a member of the National Artists Union. I have extensive experience working as a scenographer in the National Opera and the Drama Theatre (Odesa, Ukraine).
In my art I lean towards the “mystic realism” niche in fine art, often using allegorical details to tell a hidden
story.
story.
Irina's works are in private collections in Odesa, Kyiv, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Prague, Venice, etc.
In 2022 I was forced to flee my homeland and now I live and work in London, UK.
Recently I was a Selected Artist at the London Art Biennale. Currently I’m open to commissions and opportunities to exhibit my work, I also do workshops and private tutoring in different mediums.
Presented on this website is a selection of my artwork showcasing my style of work and the range of techniques I am proficient at.
