I am a self made painter with background in economics who took over the artist mission and pleasure of telling stories that make each other - artist and public, grow.
Between 2020-2023 I exhibited in my city Cluj-Napoca where I love to pop up in different unconventional locations and in Sal - Cabo Verde, Copenhagen - Art Nordic Fair, Paris, Barcelona MEAM Museum, London Itsliquid Gallery and at the XIV Florence Biennale.
In 2022 I expended trough online gallery shows in Rome, Milano, Fuerteventura, Brussels, Miami, New York, London, Zurich, Barcelona and Oslo.

In April 2021 I exhibited a collective of mine and two artist friends - One image, one Story, with works of painting and graphics. Due to styles and the venue as well as different sizes of the works, a common ground I found was to list every work trough a QR code. Each QR code opened different universes looking though universal and harmonious in the exhibition space.
In July 2022 I delivered the event S(h)elf: Story of Becoming, art exhibition and workshops focusing on the theme of introspection. Here’s a short movie as artist statement, together with my associate Tatiana Alban:

In May 2023 with the “I am You” Florence Biennale concept in mind, I developed the “You can touch this painting” performance, where artworks are lifted and moving trough a concrete factory. A short art movie was shoot at first performance followed by a one time performance with public and piano music, driving a total different and more intimate individual effect.

My ‘I am You’ exhibition at the Florence Biennale (October 14-22, 2023) brings a new concept of ‘Light flooding Art’, objects with paintings lighted up. It creates the idea of light and warmth as a human need showing the colours and painted objects in different view than original piece of art entering into a new dialog with the painting and public.
Art Historian, Ina Rosu Vadeanu:
Protean at conceptual and technical level, Corina Irsik surprises constantly trough a native synthesis capacity of very meaningful simplification of the volumes, of extracting the relevant element and respectively trough the full of vitality effects obtained.
The body of works ‘I am You’ is gradually building a human mosaic that shows up as robust, enchanting, surprising, generating very lively impressions, spontaneous and with stimulating ideation effects.
