Portrait young woman (2013) Peinture par Irina Inozemtseva-Lopes

I'm both an artist and an architect. I hold a degree in Architecture from Kiev National University of Construction and Architecture (ex-KICI). Since 1990 I'm a Member of the Portuguese Architect Professional Order.

Parallel to my professional activity, I have been doing a personal research, separate from Architecture.

I have chosen painting as the main form of expression.

The research is performed through the technique of oil and acrylic.

In my latest set of works I explore concepts about the construction of Identity.

One of the main interests for me, are the Portraits.

Portraits, as a reflection about the universe of the human emotional state.

In painting, the time of the portrait is dynamic - full of memories of the past and the foresight of the future. The portrait is constantly between artistic reflection and the mystique of reality.

My purpose is not to copy a person's external appearance, but rather to create a portal for a journey to the psychological research using the human faces and the human eyes.

The human eyes is where we can find the most complete, reliable and important information about this subject.

As for many figurative painters, it is impossible for me to avoid the imminent shadows of Lucian Freud painting process, so evocative and so emotional.

Each Portrait is a unique message and demands its own life.
