acrylic on canvas 20 x 24 x 1" My art is influenced as much by dreams and my subconscious as by my experiences and what is happening around me. Growing up in multiple cultures, and experiencing different sights, sounds and smells, influences my work. Undeniably, my love of fairy tales, fiction, fantasy, and sci-fi seeps through as well. I like to tell stories through my work and infuse it with a bit of levity and humor. I paint mostly in acrylics and gouache, and I love experimenting with mixed media, using scraps of wood, fabric fragments and other “stuff” lying around. As I work, I get inspired with new images, so I find myself sometimes working on several paintings at the same time.

I worked for a long time on this painting. Each time I started painting it I felt like I entered some mysterious space, though I do not know the nature of this space, Marilyn turned herself, or maybe better to say, sacrificed herself, into some eternal porcelain which never faded or into a diamond which never stopped shining.oil on canvas 28 x 22 x 2"

oil on canvas 22 x 28" When I first saw Hudson Valley's landscape, I was stunned. It was picturesque, friendly, and colorful! It had incredible richness of nature - wild flowers in fields, abundance of trees and bushes, green grass around houses... Nature in Hudson Valley is so powerful that it could easily overcome human-made structures. But at the same time, nature and people their live in harmony with each other., and human habitats in Hudson Valley look so different in compare to disturbing life in big American cities. All that make this area unique and magical. In my painting I tried to express this harmony and promising way of living.

oil 8 x 10" Irina’s work is driven by passion to explore and celebrate life. She is searching for beauty, balance, harmony and the ideal, following the philosophy of the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy who believed that “beauty will save the world.” Art has always been Irina’s salvation and the fountain from which she could draw inspiration, strength, love and serenity. Irina is working primarily in oils in various genres, including portraits and figurative work, florals, still lives and landscapes. Recently she is exploring pastels, a new medium for her, which is experiencing Renaissance in the United States and which has been more widely adopted in Europe. Irina is also using digital media as her tool of storytelling to touch the audience’s hearts. Being equally good in traditional media and in digital arts, Irina explored a newly found ground in digital illustration by writing, illustrating, designing and publishing a new children’s book Balloon at Noon and Other Stories. Irina’s main influences, at least for the moment, are the Florentine Renaissance painters of the 16th century Leonardo da Vinci, Tintoretto, Veronese, Titian, among others. She has found it gratifying to rediscover realism and to dedicate time to study and observe form, light and color. She is painting and drawing live models again to explore the subtle shadows, softness, and warmth of human flesh, as well as the texture and radiance of everyday objects. It feels as though it took Irina a long time, down an ever-winding road, to become a fine artist. There were many detours along.

Pastel 15 x 15" The Trinity Bridge of Saint Petersburg reflects the notion of sorrow for the times past and present with the rainy glare, yet a gleaming hope of indelible light. It gives me great pleasure and a sense of fulfillment to be able to capture and express the virtuosity of both, the stark, but genuine nature, and the skillful excellency of the architecture.

pastel/stonehenge paper 22 x 28" The sky is ever changing and because I spend a multitude of time at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean I am constantly inspired by the variations even from moment to moment. While, Red Sky, may seem an exaggeration, in reality it was a particularly magnificent and pervasive sunset that saturated not only the sky but everything under it, including the ocean with a deep red glow. A truly mystical moment.

The forested mountains running down to the shore and the color of the water create a very different landscape than the south Florida coastline. With whales, seals and dolphins watching the marine life is pure joy.

Every summer we would stay on the bluff overlooking the Skidaway River. On the incoming tide, we would put on our bathing suits and our tennies to go swimming in the river. But you had to be careful not to get cut by the oysters and the Spartina grass. That and rowing the bateau out to catch crabs and play with the dolphins was the best.

mixed media 24 x 30 x 2.25" I am fascinated by the interaction between the surface of water and what lies beneath. As more of our planet experiences flooding the interaction becomes more profound. The sea stories and secrets held just under the mirror like surface tension are mysteries and chrinicles of not only history but possibly the future.

Choosing an apple strongly symbolized this religious meaning, but how to render spirituality, devoid of gravity, was the challenge. The painting method implemented was to paint a setting of various deep blues pushing space forward and back. The wispy leaf-like lines created movement and visually flowed across the canvas implying spirit. The apple, in its purest form and color, is braced by 2 branches and created a stillness... Now the apple is ready to be picked.

acrylic 24 x 32" Traveling through Iceland and Alaska has provided many vistas of cold and frozen, snowy and rocky, desolate and comforting spaces. The deep quiet interrupted by a calving glacier, a roaring waterfall or the whoosh of an eagle's wings call me to capture yet another image. Painting these memories challenges my expression of the extremes of the winter seasons and climates....the sharpness of frozen ice.... and the softness of fallen snow....the deep blacks of volcanic rock and the pale blues of sky and waters. The shapes in these natural environments lend themselves easily to abstract expressions. Additional shipping/delivery charges will be handled between artist and buyer after the purchase.
