About Irena
I paint landscape, still life, figurative, and abstract works. To my eyes and in my mind, the paintings are all very different from each other yet connected, springing from the same inspirations, impulses, and interests. I love oils, watercolors, and mixed media. I love trees, shadows, the shapes that both nature and people create. For the past several years, I have been consciously exploring the syntheses that painting can provide among sensations, intellectual pursuits, memory, humor, and the impulse to find meaning. At other times, of course, I paint for the joy of working with colors, shapes, and various media. I am immensely intrigued and awed by the power of a successfully created work.
