After years working for different companies, Irina felt a longing to return to her old passion, and in 2019 she decided to follow the path of painting.
Her art is inspired mostly by nature, music and mood with joy or melancholy, dreams and reality, all are fusing into one emotion. Irina's late works deals with deconstructing ideas and recomposing them in a subtle way, influencing the emotional response of viewers.

The creations stand at the intersection of a different perceptions of reality and express the multitude of possible answers.
The artist constantly plays with textures and colors, transforming and mixing them, in order to give a new shape, in a new abstract expressionism concept.
