Irina Shadrina

Born in Russia in 1977. I am a professional artist, illustrator, and graphic designer with over 15 years of experience in art and design. I graduated from Ural State University of Architecture and Art at the Faculty of Graphic Design.I have a bachelor's degree in design art.
Now I am improving my qualifications in academic painting at the Portrait School. The symbiosis of professions expanded my possibilities as an artist. My arsenal is digital, graphics, academic drawing, and painting. The subjects of my work are varied: Plein air sketches, graphic experiments, still lifes, and portraits. Simple everyday things and situations inspire me — "Beauty hides in simplicity".

What do I want to tell with my creativity?
Probably that — I am... that I am a part of this world. Through my artworks, I want to create invisible threads with other people, find a response in their hearts.
