Irina Makarova
Genuine art is a direct and very accurate hit in a non-verbal space. It is a combination of depth and height.

Biography
Irina (Irene) Makarova was born in Moscow, Russia, and currently lives in London, UK.
Since 2005, she studied painting in the studio of the Russian artist Konstantin Kaufman. She graduated from the Moscow Architectural Institute in 2008, and then she took an Art course at Moscow State Academic Art Institute named after Surikov. She joined the International Art Foundation in 2008. She prefers to work in oil and often uses open colours in her artwork.
Irina mostly creates expressive figurative art. The form and relationships between different forms and figures set a huge field of interpretation through different historical and mythological contexts. Irina's paintings are born in her inner world through observation and experience of the surrounding life.
Irina's art was influenced by the pictorial language of the Russian avant-garde of the early twentieth century and the work of German expressionists, as well as by Bosch, Giotto, El Greco, and Modigliani.
Irina has participated in more than 60 exhibitions in Russia and Europe. Her works are in private and public collections in England, Scotland, Russia, France, Italy, Spain, Finland, Switzerland, and the Czech Republic.

I moved to London (UK)
Dear Friends! I was endorsed by the Arts Council of England to get the UK Global Talent Visa as a visual artist. I moved to London in October 2022 and I have been living and working here since then. I think my moving to London will help me greatly improve as an artist from the experience I will gain here in the UK! I will be able to absorb modern and traditional British contexts and enrich my artistic practice with new cross-cultural communication!

Irene Makarova, your comment is very interesting.... Nice continuation with this good work and have a good day! Jean-Paul RAMON
Merci beaucoup, Jean-Paul! Vous m'inspirez pour de nouvelles peintures! Je vous souhaite une belle journée!
In french "Ceci est une peinture philosophique. J'ai exploré le thème de l'unité des contraires chez une personne, la connexion des contraires. L'harmonie, ce sont les contraires qui composent le tout. Mâle et femelle, feu et eau, profondeur et hauteur. La couleur rouge est furieuse, active et agissante. La couleur bleu profond est l'immersion en profondeur et l'immobilité, la sagesse, la connaissance. La coexistence des contraires qui se complètent crée l'harmonie et la seule vérité."
Love love love! CONGRATULATIONS Irene and thanks to share with us your art with this comment. Beautiful art! Sweet continuation! Friendly from France, Jean-Paul
Thank you, Jean-Paul! Have a nice day two!)
Beautifull and good trip for you Irene! That is always a pleasure to see your painting about these marvellous moments! Thanks for adding my art in your collection! Happy continuation and nice day! Jean-Paul RAMON
Spaki! Merci beaucoup pour vos paroles! Et cet endroit en Italie était vraiment très ensoleillé et magnifique!)
