Today I would like to share with you a painting that's 5 years old. 5 years ago I painted like this. It was on cellulose paper with a set of student grade paints, synthetic brushes, zero knowledge about how this thing works and the firm conviction that I can do this on my own.
Things changed. I invested a lot of money and time in materials and education to be where I stand now and where I will be in the future. Some things don't work by "just winging it".
So many things were scary back then. 30x40 cm was a big painting for me and today it's one of the smaller formats which I work on.
Today I feel inspired by looking at those paintings from the start of my journey. I know where I came from. I know that I can do better now. For the next 5 years my goal is to master the technical side of the craft and focus on my artistic expression.

End of the year and I feel like it’s time to wrap it up with an #artvsartist2022 , some of my works this year along with my face. The face that you see here is the old Irina. The new one just became one year older. Today. I share my birthday with Henri Matisse. Isn’t that a wonderful thing? The birth date and artistic creativity aren the only things that we have in common. But I’ll tell you more about it some other day. Chapter 2022 is almost finished.

Studio vibes and a WIP. It's a lot of "first times" for me in this piece. First time a figure in watercolor on a whole sheet. I always underestimate the amount of paint needed. First time painting drapery. I didn't go to art school, so I never practiced these. And it's the first time I'm working as a commercial artist rather than an enthusiast. This piece is being made with the goal to eventually sell it.

I have this piece hanging over my bed and when I wake up I see it. No matter what will come in the future, which paintings I will create, how well my work will be received, this one will always stay my favorite. I keep staring into the very depth if the shadows, sinking into the abstract background, observing the lights reflecting off the wrinkles of her clothes... So many things about this piece which I did right based purely on intuition. Trust your intuition. It's the only thing that you can rely on as an artist.

I have issues with posting paintings, which I don’t approve of myself. This one bothers me in terms of composition and color. Thank God watercolors have a technical “final stage” on the brink of overdoing, much unlike oils, which you can alter all your life. But nevertheless, while I’m busy in my new studio, working on new paintings, it’s only logical to show you all the older ones first.

Ich habe gewisse Probleme damit Bilder zu zeigen, die ich persönlich nicht zu 100% gelungen finde. Dieses Porträt von Joaquin Phoenix gehört zu der Sorte. Ein Glück, dass Aquarelle nicht endlos übermalt werden können, wie das bei Ölgemälden der Fall ist. Aber solange ich in meinem neuen Atelier an neuen Bildern arbeite, möchte ich die “alte” Etappe abschließen und euch ein paar Sachen zeigen.
