About Irina Bocharova

 
 
  • Biography

    It's an incredible thing to be able to express your understanding of this vast universe in pictures, to convey your emotions through colour and texture.

    Painting is a means of expression for me. I try to use the full range of this medium. My work is often more abstract than concrete, expressive - even when I paint figurative paintings.

    Painting is for me a vital necessity. It is my daily air and nourishment.

    Painting is my way of telling my stories, my language for representing the emotions I am filled with.

    I paint passionately and a lot, my life is dedicated to creating, and in each work I leave a bit of myself, filling at the same time with the emotions of creation.

    The inspiration, the subject or the subject of my painting can be anything, and this "anything" is just a pretext for a new painting, a new composition, a new series. Often the subjects of my series are abstract concepts such as "Reflections", "Time", "Shadows", which allow me to tell new stories through associations, making the viewer co-creator.

    I like to change materials for painting: I first have a passion for watercolours, then pastels, then acrylics, then I use all materials at once, experimenting.
    Right now I'm in a period of acrylics and large canvases, but in between large series I like to paint small pieces on paper in mixed media. This allows me to think about the next big series and at the same time create quick "masterpieces".
