"Inner Architecture" Artwork

Hey, I'm Irina Mitaenko. An artist with a passion for creativity and a strong connection between art and science. Twenty-five years ago, I left Moscow and moved to Germany. Besides my profession as a trained physicist, art is the second driving force in my life.

Art has fascinated me since childhood and never lets go of me. I've even pondered how many hours of my life I've dedicated to art - the result is simply countless. For me, art is not only what I create but also what I see, think about, read, learn, discuss, and experience. I enjoy traveling to London, New York, or Berlin to visit inspiring exhibitions, and my collection of art books is my refuge into the world of creativity. The search for my own artistic identity can be compared to scientific research. Over the years, I've learned from various masters and experimented, fueled by my curiosity and the urge to continually push the boundaries of my creativity.

It fills me with joy to know that others share my perspectives, and many of my works have found their place in private collections.

My inspiration stems from the deep conviction that creativity is an essential part of our lives. I don't just seethe world as striving for structures and systems but as diverse, interconnected, and holistic. Especially in the sciences I once pursued - mathematics, physics, and philosophy — I find a special beauty that I metaphorically express in my artworks. This aspect deeply fascinates me and drives my artistic passion.I explore my playful creativity in using simple natural forms and their combinations. I utilize every available material and experiment with various techniques, similar to a scientist in the lab researching without constraints. My works reflect my fondness for physics and mathematics, capturing the beauty and harmony of the world in my personal way.
