Irina's artistic philosophy is deeply rooted in emotion and human connection. She seeks to to awaken the inner feelings of her audience, especially a sense of strength and power. This approach was reinforced by a significant experience where a close person shared the emotions felt when looking at her work, confirming to Irina the value of her artistic approach.

It all started when I was 14. At night, I would spend my nights drawing whatever came into my head. Then I did studies that had nothing to do with art, I worked. But when I moved to France in 2020, all paths were open to me. So, I remembered my passion and started painting. I met a passionate painter, Isabelle, who taught me a lot during our classes in her studio. Now, I am also discovering watercolor painting.
