Alik Irovich

I am interested in complex literary, religious, and philosophical themes grounded in history, science, symbolism, mysticism, personal experience, and imagination.
The theme of a painting is not always clear in advance. Sometimes it reveals itself during the process, and sometimes it becomes fully understood only long after the work has been completed. For me, painting is a process in which themes, meanings, and connections gradually reveal themselves.
Currently, I am working on a series of circular portraits of great personalities, including Goethe, Dante, and Swift, while continuing to create illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy and paintings inspired by religious and philosophical themes.

The years of the pandemic and the ongoing war narrowed exhibition life in Israel almost to nothing, but studio work never stopped. Several bodies of work were completed during this period and are awaiting exhibition.
