Irina Kozii is a New York-based artist whose work explores the psychological tension within familiar subjects. Working across portraiture, figurative painting, and still life, she uses color, light, and expressive brushwork to create a distinct sense of atmosphere. Moving between representation and abstraction, her paintings challenge the ordinary through subtle shifts in form, unexpected color relationships, and emotional complexity.
Kozii studied at the Art Students League of New York under acclaimed painters Ricky Mujica and Leonid Gervitz, where she developed a strong foundation in observational painting while cultivating a contemporary visual language rooted in color, atmosphere, and perception. Her work has been exhibited at the Phyllis Harriman Mason Gallery in New York, is held in private collections throughout the United States and internationally, and has received recognition from Oil Painters of America through selections for the OPA Online Showcase and the 2026 National Salon.
