Irina Afonskaya

I was born in Ukraine, lived in Russia in Moscow, which I left in 2015 as political immigrant, and now I live in Bulgaria on wonderful resort St. Constantine and Helena on Black sea. It is sea, mineral and spa resort, working all year. You can go there for holiday and buy my pictures directly from my studio.

I am painter, photographer and poetess, and I try to connect painting and poetry, making
painting as poetry in paints, and poetry as painting in words.

I sell paintings in internet in different ways: original painting, prints, digital licenses and different goods with painting printed on them.
My original paintings are in private collections in USA and Europe. Beside this sold thousands digital licenses.
Photographs of my paintings were published and used as illustrations in different magazines, newspapers, books.
I participate in international exhibitions in different countries (New York, USA, Vienna, Austria, Budapest, Hungary, etc/)
see my exhibition list).

I find sense of life and happiness in beauty, and see aim of visual arts, especially painting, in bringing beauty to the world, and with beauty goodness and light, as they are connected. Artists are send to the world with great mission: by means of art artists change...
