I dreamed Taj Mahal. - Limited Edition of 5 Artwork

Iryna Calinicenco (Cairyna), 1984 Ukraine/Moldova. Iryna works at the intersection of Mixed Media and New Media techniques - by combining drawing, photography, collage and exposure to chemicals on the drawing. Plus the final digital manipulation. In Iryna's work over the years one can notice an increasing bias toward realism, an accent on semi-figurative images. She depicts distortions, as she does not believe in straightness and flatness of all things. Combines photography, drawing, and digital manipulation to emphasize structure and detail previously unnoticed by anyone else. Shows the difference between reality and her understanding of the image of reality, and proves that the truth is always subjective. Iryna's paintings are mostly semi-figurative, stylized to a greater or lesser extent, gravitating toward abstract aesthetics and naive imagery. Line and color are presented as something prevailing over form. It is a kind of play with the imagination and a flirtation with the viewer's fantasy. Working at the intersection of abstraction and figurativeness, using unusual materials, Iryna does not seek external harmony and beauty of the image, she plays with perspective and canons. In this way she reformats the viewer's aesthetic and emotional space from "I like - I don't like" to "I accept - I don't accept". In her works, Iryna emphasizes the duality of perception, encouraging the viewer to think and search for a different meaning. Get into the game and fantasize together with Cairyna!
