EMERALD HAZE Painting

Ira Ragnhild born in Bobruisk (Belarus) in 1988 "My creative development as an artist is a constant search for new aesthetics and beauty that is likely to make people amuse, tremble and excite like when I was a child and everything around seemed to be extremely new and filled up with miracles. I don't know anything about the way other people look at the world, even the closest ones, but in my drawings I reflect my own contact with the surrounding world, my apprehension, associations, and certain feelings that I cannot express with words but feel they are so bright that they get shaped and colored. Inspiration for me is a state when you can notice weird unexplainable beauty of that world, despite all the generally accepted aesthetics standards. I like working with traditional materials but in an unusual media -- to reveal new combinations that help to achieve a completely new tone. I often prefer to use paper rather than canvas as it provides more opportunities to fulfill my ideas. Probably like any other artist, I am afraid of getting stuck within one style or one media, of devoting myself to one theme -I want my art to grow with me, I want each new piece of art to discover new things that would later become the source for another work of art" The artist's works are in private collections in Belarus, Lebanon, Lithuania and the USA. An artist lives and works in Minsk.
