"Inner world" Painting

My name is Irina Biryukova. I was born and live in Ukraine. From early childhood, I remember myself with a brush in my hand. I have a higher education. I graduated from the Pedagogical University, Faculty of Fine Arts. I participated in exhibitions at the art museum and libraries of Chernihiv. It is one of the most ancient cities in the world, with many temples and beautiful nature. My paintings served as book illustrations. In 2026, I took part in the international art festival "Malyui ua" in Kyiv. I teach children to draw in my studio and in kindergarten, passing on my experience to the younger generation. As an artist, I love experimenting with different materials. I work with oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, and graphite. I paint walls with landscapes and flowers, and life with joy and positivity. I want to share this with you. Let's make this world a better place together. Evil cannot be defeated with evil. It can only be defeated with good. I live in Ukraine. There is a war. What can I do to defeat the darkness? Paint light! Despite the devastation, the falling shells, and the roar of the martyrs, I will paint as long as I can breathe. I have put all the warmth and love of my heart into my paintings. And I want to give it to you!
