Sobre el Artista

Irina Howard was born in Ukraine in 1969 and currently lives and works in New York City, USA. Her work is centered on painting, sculpture, and design. She draws inspiration from organic texture and composes her themes giving physical form to a conceptual idea. She embodies personal experiences and philosophical views through her artworks, expressed via visual language elements (e.g., lines, shapes, forms, textures, and colors). Her current series of works explores the challenges in life and their influences on the development of the human soul. Irina began drawing at an early age as a means of coping with personal and family tragedies. Feeling powerless amidst the injustices surrounding her, she was compelled to shout out to society and emerge with the belief that the artist has no right to contribute any more pain to a world full of struggle and despair. After leaving her born country, she found her new life in a more secure and fulfilling environment with the opportunity to pursue her passion for arts. Irina studied art at the City University of New York and Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences. Her work has been exhibited throughout the United States and presented at the world's largest fine art trade shows. She is an award-winning artist for excellence in oil painting. Her artworks belong to several private collections in various countries.
