Irina Shamanova

I am a multidisciplinary artist exploring form, volume, and hidden emotions at the intersection of pop surrealism and contemporary naïve art. My creative journey is a deliberate transition from the structured logic of digital systems to the living, tactile nature of physical materials.

For me, the medium itself is secondary—whether layered textiles, painting, or sculptural plaster. What matters most is the creation of complex textures, reliefs, and surfaces that invite both visual and physical engagement. I build my works to convey a sense of weight, presence, and materiality, encouraging viewers to experience them beyond sight alone.

My art serves as an emotional and tactile anchor—a space for contemplation and sensory connection in an increasingly overstimulated world.
