We take off into the cosmos, ready for anything: for solitude, for hardship, for exhaustion, death. Modesty forbids us to say so, but there are times when we think pretty well of ourselves. And yet, if we examine it more closely, our enthusiasm turns out to be all a sham. We don't want to conquer the cosmos, we simply want to extend the boundaries of Earth to the frontiers of the cosmos. For us, such and such a planet is as arid as the Sahara, another as frozen as the North Pole, yet another as lush as the Amazon basin. We are humanitarian and chivalrous; we don't want to enslave other races, we simply want to bequeath them our values and take over their heritage in exchange. We think of ourselves as the Knights of the Holy Contact. This is another lie. We are only seeking Man. We have no need of other worlds. A single world, our own, suffices us; but we can't accept it for what it is. We are searching for an ideal image of our own world: we go in quest of a planet, a civilization superior to our own but developed on the basis of a prototype of our primeval past. At the same time, there is something inside us which we don't like to face up to, from which we try to protect ourselves, but which nevertheless remains, since we don't leave Earth in a state of primal innocence. We arrive here as we are in reality, and when the page is turned and that reality is revealed to us - that part of our reality which we would prefer to pass over in silence - then we don't like it anymore

Irina Greciuhina (b. 1982) is a painter who lives and works in Chisinau, Republic of Moldova. She studied Painting in the Academy of Music, Theatre and Fine Arts in Chisinau, and she continued her studies in the Technical University of Moldova, getting a degree in Architecture and Urban Planning. Since 2007 she has been a chief of the Architectural and Design bureau in Chisinau, working on exclusive national and international projects and winning the awards in design and architecture. Throughout her career Irina has been experimenting with different art styles and techniques and since 2019 she has been actively exhibiting her artworks and participating in international projects. In a short period of time Irina has managed to participate in the International Biennial of Painting in Chisinau, exhibit her works in Italy, Spain and France and even have her first solo shows. Through her paintings and digital prints, Irina confronts stereotypical architypes of women, balancing pop-art postures and colors with surreal background and design patterns. Her influences range from Japanese graphics to Tamara Lempicka and AES+F. Combining incompatible elements, she puzzles the audience inviting it to create own story about the subjects of her paintings. Irina is represented by art galleries in Los Angeles (U.S.A), Stavanger (Norway) and Moscow (Russia). Her works can be found in private and corporate collections in Europe and Asia.
