Irina Gaysina

Working across painting, drawing, and mixed media, I regard each artistic practice as a distinct way of exploring inner experience. For me, the choice of medium is never merely a technical decision; each material offers a different path toward emotional states, allowing me to revisit memory, time, and my own response to the world from a new perspective. My work is concerned less with representing reality than with the process of my transformation. Memories, music, cinematic imagery, and personal experience serve as points of departure, but as the work unfolds, they gradually lose their literal meaning and evolve into autonomous pictorial spaces. I often describe my practice in simple terms: "The ultimate purpose of my art is to make people happy”
