Fireflies of Guimaraes Painting

IRINA MARKEVICH Hi, I am Irina Markevich - a professional artist and designer. I've been designing clothes for 20 years, but for the last few years, I'm having a serious passion for painting. I cannot do without creation. It will allow me to express on canvas all the amazing discoveries in the field of metaphysics, cosmogony and other mysteries that I am starting to discover step by step. I do a lot of sketches, paint landscapes or create unusual compositions. Different places of our planet, meetings, people and events give me completely different impressions - and correspondingly different techniques of execution Sometimes I just don't have the patience to wait for the moment when I can finally draw. I started with small formats, but now I have moved to oil and acrylic painting on large canvases. I devote a lot of time to spiritual practices and self-development. This experience helps me to be realized in creativity. I love color and light, its shades and iridescence. I like to try new materials and techniques, mix them in the most unusual variations. I do not want to limit myself and create art objects in several directions. Abstract painting on impressions from my trips. Graphic compositions on very exciting topics for me. History - that's what I call a series of works with a fabulous. Landscapes and sketches from travels. Perhaps over time all this will merge into one style, but while I'm looking for, and fruitfully working in all directions. I've always been interested in questions: Where does the universe end? What is infinity? The statement that the beauty of art and knowledge is a universal international language, a language that we can speak even through time. My favorite science is physics. But at the same time, I am interested in spiritual knowledge and practices. I read a lot and explore the world. Inner discoveries, the energy that appears in these moments and requires a splash – this is the basis of my creativity. I just can't help but draw, write. I feel physically bad when I do not work for a long time with paints and brushes. Pastel or at least a simple pencil. I am happy that I live in a time of freedom of information, freedom of movement and travel, freedom of creativity. My paintings are a symbiosis of everything that happens in my soul, the search for answers to questions, the brightest impressions of the knowledge gained, and the beauty seen.
