Irina Howard
My work bridges the old and the new, blending classical techniques and aesthetics with contemporary perspectives and interpretations. It delves into the intricacies of human nature, exploring the transformative power of our experiences.
Through my art, I seek to delve into the depths of the soul, understanding and reflecting on the profound emotions, thoughts, and conflicts that shape us. My purpose is to offer empathy, compassion, and healing, guiding the viewer on a journey of self-discovery and transformation.
My work is deeply personal yet universally relevant, encouraging emotional and intellectual discovery. By harnessing the universal language of symbols and visual metaphors, I invite viewers to explore their own inner landscapes and find connections to broader human experiences.
My process is a delicate combination of research, thoughtful decision-making, and spontaneous, intuitive solutions. When I allow my subconscious to guide me, uncovering hidden layers and meanings within each artwork, that unfolds a mysterious conversation between creator and creation, extending beyond the realm of conscious choices.
By working predominantly in a monochrome black-and-white palette, I aim to emphasize the starkness of these opposing forces. I want to capture the tension and harmony between them, showcasing the interconnectedness of light and dark.
This choice also allows me to strip away the distractions of color and focus purely on the forms, textures, and patterns that convey the essence of the human experience. Ultimately, I am a conduit of love and light, striving to bring peace, love, and harmony to the world.
