The painter about her work: "In the work I rely more on intuition, listening to my inner feeling. When an idea comes, I am creating a sketch, sometimes I start work immediately on the canvas and then go for color and line to the way they lead me. Result is unexpected even for me. There are images that obviously existed somewhere deep in the subconscious mind ... For me it is important to mix color planes, intense contrasts and beauty lines. Work brings me joy, satisfaction, and I hope to cause an emotional response in the viewer! Irina is the member of International Art Foundation, the member of Creative Union of professional artists.
