Bio

/    S T A T E M E N T

My name is Ira Ivanova

I define my art as a blend of abstract realism and abstract expressionism. I play with colors, abstract shapes, and textures. I regularly work with different techniques and enjoy experimenting with various materials and artistic approaches.

​

My goal is to create personal works that contain endless variations. Many of my paintings are built up with layers and thickness, while others feature more transparent colors, using water and spontaneous brushstrokes.

​

I draw inspiration from everything beautiful and joyful around me. I strongly believe we live in a wonderful world full of happiness and positivity. When I paint, it's filled with fun and joy.

 

Through my art, I aim to share this positive energy and joy of life with others.
