State University and got her PhD degree. She lives and works in Kyiv. Iryna is
the member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. Iryna works in painting,
installations, video-animation and performance.
She develops expressionistic style with a surrealistic touch to reflect
the complexity and non-linearity of human perceptions. She analytically
converts abstract concepts and real human emotions into vivid visual images.Her
artworks have philosophical background and contain allegories and an invitation
for the viewer to continue the dialogue.

and abroad. She got awards at the international art competitions. Her artworks
are in the museums and private collections in Ukraine, Germany, Slovakia, and
China.

Arts (UAFRA), which advocates gender equality in the arts. She founded annual
WomenArtFest, which takes place in Kyiv in partnership with the leading art
institutions.
