This artwork invites the viewer into a complex interplay between divinity and humanity. The figure, painted with sharp, angular forms and expressive colors, evokes both saintly reverence and a sense of human vulnerability. The vibrant patterns contrast with the serene figure, creating a dialogue between the divine and the earthly, the sacred and the flawed. The use of gold around the head hints at the traditional halo, while the modern, abstracted style breaks convention, leaving room for interpretation of the moral dualities within us all.

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".
