"Original oil and acrilyc painting. Abstract, impressionistic, intuitive contemporary art"
My name is Iryna Baklanova. I live in Kyiv, Ukraine. I'm a self-taught artist. I've spent most of my life working in a bank. I did some interior design projects a few years ago and completed a web-design course where I fell in love with painting. I've been doing this non-stop beginning from 2015. I tried watercolor, pastel, crayons, acrylic and oil paints before finally settling on the latter two. I've been a member of an art studio since summer 2016, but I mostly paint on my own. Some of my paintings have been a part of the studio exhibitions in January 2017 and 2019. Part of the works participated in a charity exhibition in Kyiv House of Artists in March 2017. In 2017, February I started my Etsy shop. I also took part in Kyiv Juniors Tennis Cup in 2019, June with my artworks. It was a small exhibition there and 2 of my works was an award for winners. Today painting is my main occupation and passion, part of my soul. I get pleasure from painting - and willingly share it with you!
