Born in 1997 in Moscow, Irina graduted from Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after V.I. Surikov, she is a member of the Moscow Union of Artists and a recipient of the Gold Medal from the Russian Academy of Arts. Her works are featured in private collections across Russia.

Capturing different places and elements of the city, Irina explores the complex relationship between humans and urban spaces, examining how external factors influence internal states.
Since childhood, her surroundings were made up of panel buildings and elements of the urban environment.

Through the unconscious collection of those fragments preserved in memory over the years, the artist constructs a system that helps manage her own identity, encapsulating the internal states and emotions experienced during those times.
In times of instability, achieving equilibrium between one’s inner world and external circumstances becomes a challenge, creating a sense of “disorientation.”
Through the interplay of layering and overlapping elements, she investigates how the environment shapes individuals.
For instance, rebar—a structural element of the urban landscape—embodies inherent aggression and trauma.
Her artistic method spans painting and graphic techniques, alongside multiple media such as sculpture, video installations, and photo prints.
