Grand canal Painting

Irina Kruglova was born on August 22, 1981 in Lithuania, in the city of Kaunas. At the age of 10 she moved with her parents to Ulyanovsk. For four years she studied music in the piano class. Although Irina is attracted to music, she realizes that this is not her path. At the age of 15, he begins to draw a lot and realize his real vocation. Her artistic mission, as she herself feels, is to serve beauty. From 1998 to 2002 he studied at the Ulyanovsk School of Culture at the department of graphic designer, where the main emphasis is on easel painting and drawing. Irina graduates from the School of Culture with honors. The range of Irina Kruglova's creativity is diverse: psychological portraits, and still lifes, and nudes, and cityscapes, and genre paintings - giving grounds for thinking about the simple, and sometimes dramatic life of people and animals. Since 2010, Irina has begun a series of genre paintings in which she conveys her own experiences of the quiet and modest life of an abandoned town, where she happened to live after the beautiful, refined Kaunas. The artist is interested not only in the outwardly attractive side of life, to which everyone is striving so much in our turbulent age, but also in unremarkable nooks and crannies, where the beating of life also pulsates. In autumn 2011, he visits the city of Sergiev Posad, where he paints from life a series of paintings of a unique monument of Russian culture and history. Irina Kruglova's works are in galleries and private collections in Russia and abroad.
