Victoria's Secret Painting

Irina Davydova was born in Yekaterinburg in 1994. Since childhood, she had been dreaming of painting, but art seemed something inaccessible then. She is a 2016 graduate of St. Petersburg State University, a bachelor of management. She entered Ural State University of Architecture and Arts for a second degree in 2019. Graduation from a prestigious business school gave an impetus to the beginning of her creative path. Awareness of the late start stimulated continuous learning hand in hand with creative pursuit and practice. First, in 2016, she drew attention to marker illustration, then switched to digital illustration, while experimenting with painting. In 2018, with the support of Starbucks Russia, she held her marker sketching workshop. Irina is concerned with the topics of mental health and the contribution of psychotherapy to its achievement; cruelty to animals; women and their . Her interest is related to the reflection of personal experience. Now Irina implements those through oil painting and mural art. She is a finalist of the Prizma Art Prize 2020 and received an offer to participate in Atelier Austmarka residence (Norway).
