Iryna Yeromenko

I'm Iryna Yeromenko, a full-time Ukrainian artist who currently live and work in Qatar.
My practice spans painting and drawing, working with watercolor, oil, pastel and gouache.
The central theme of my work is the nature of my homeland, which I deeply miss in the context of forced emigration. Botanical painting has become a metaphor for inner states. One of my projects, dedicated to the desert hyacinth, turned into a symbol of recent transformations: the image of Cistanche tubulosa - a flower that grows in harsh desert conditions by adapting and connecting to external sources - reflects my own search for new sources of energy.
My works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Ukraine and UK. In 2025, they were included in a catalogue at National Botanical Garden of Ukraine.
Featured in various and international private collections in Ukraine, USA, United Kingdom, Qatar, Azerbaijan.
