Irina Owlik

Irina Owlik is a fine art photographer, born in 1989 in Vitebsk, Belarus, and based in Riga, Latvia. She studied at the Institute of Visual Arts (Master of Photography Arts) and holds a degree in Marketing. Irina defines her practice as fine art photography at the intersection of reality and digital transformation – a language she calls “Surrealism of the everyday".

Her visual language is built on sensations and spontaneous associations, with works originating from mobile photography and alternative techniques such as scanner imaging and vintage optics (Helios lens with a reversed element). Through editing, her images move beyond literal depiction toward emotional, surreal forms.

Her work is both intimate and universal: a testament to freedom, feeling, and the courage to be visible.
