Painting of Sphinx cat portrait. Pop art cat. (2021) Painting by Iryna Sapsai

Like all children, as a child, I drew a lot and easily. I have always dreamed of painting. But when she became an adult, she decided that an artist is born and it is clear to everyone, even a newborn, that he is an artist and no one else. There are many creative people in my social circle. And what they did was something unattainable for me. I was afraid to do something like this. Then it seemed to me that only a few could draw. And as I grew up, I chose a different profession. One day my friend, who is very far from drawing, showed me a picture painted with her own hand. She visited an art studio, where, under the guidance of a professional, she painted a small picture. This inspired me. I decided that I could too. And so, step by step, my training began. Now I do a lot of self-education in painting, I love experiments, and I try to draw with different techniques and different materials. Every evening I leave the world of boring numbers and exact laws and plunge into the free world of bright colors and self-expression. I like to mix paints directly on the canvas and paint with large strokes, as well as smooth brushes. All my paintings are made with love and inspiration.
