Description
This painting transforms the facade of an old European city into the setting for an unusual romantic story. Amid rich coral, pink, terracotta, golden, and deep blue tones, two windows appear, each revealing a different world. In one, a man sits beside his cat, while in the other, a woman reads a book, completely unaware that someone is watching her.
The man seems to be looking at her from a neighboring window in a vast, invisible house. But instead of walls, this fantastical house has the endless sky. It feels as though another world exists somewhere above the city, invisible to everyone else, where windows can appear directly in the air and connect people separated by an enormous distance.
There is a quiet sense of tenderness and curiosity in his gaze. Perhaps he has been watching the woman from his “window in the sky" for a long time, hoping to see her again each evening. She reads and goes about her life, unaware that she has become someone's small daily source of joy. There is no conversation between them, no touch — only distance, two windows, and a single gaze that slowly begins to turn into a feeling.
Here, the windows become a symbol of love emerging between two seemingly separate worlds. They keep people apart, yet at the same time allow them to see one another. And with the fantastical sky taking the place of walls, an ordinary story about neighbors becomes an almost fairy-tale encounter between two souls.
This is a painting about a quiet kind of love that can begin with a single glance through a window — even when the space between two people is not a house, but an entire sky.
Presentation
Irina: "I am full-time artist. I find my happiness in doing art. Art is a part of my soul, my energy, my vision of the world. I consider myself a multi-faceted artist, I like to experiment with materials. I realized that I can create beauty not only with paints. I create three-dimensional artworks with volumetric elements. I work in two directions: mosaic paintings and wall sculpture art. I use decorative found objects, mosaic, plaster, wood, shells, crystals, gemstones, anything that can realize my ideas. My art is full of life and joy. The main theme is a Woman, her life, thoughts, feelings, relationships with people and the world".
