Ирина Назарова

Born in 1981 in Kazan, Russia.
Lives and works in Saint Petersburg, Russia and Haifa, Israel.
Member of the Union of Artists of Russia.

I have created the ability to move between worlds— to exist in-between, or to hide within one of them.
My painting is a space of intersection between the inner and outer worlds,
where emotions and objective reality intertwine.
I explore the moments when invisible movements of the soul become tangible—
through color, texture, and gesture.

My compositions are built conceptually:
each interaction of lines and planes carries layered meanings.
Expressive gesture merges with subtle structural intent,
where intense hues coexist with delicate nuances.

I focus not on the event itself but on how it resonates within the viewer.
My paintings become mirrors: reflecting the inner states of the beholder.
In my work, I strive to create a multidimensional space—
where the image unfolds slowly, layer by layer, like a revelation.
