Irina Kryuchkova

My beloved dog is Weimaraner Forrest, more precisely Forrest Gump, I named him after the hero of the film of the same name. He changed my life and thanks to him I began to better understand nature and animals. Thanks to him, I got into the world of those who are passionate about their pets. Thanks to him, I turned to drawing pets and wild animals.

The relationships of people and animals are my fascination. They are in our world. We are in theirs. We are bound by our nature and the world we share. How we see each other is what moves me to create.
My style and creativity I honed by studying in an art studio of academic drawing by Ludmila Perec, numerous master classes and trainings at the Summer School of the Repin Academy of Arts.
