Iryna Akimova is a contemporary Ukrainian artist, who lives and works in Kiev. She graduated from Kharkov State University (Ukraine), where she got her PhD degree. Her artworks are the snapshots of human relationships and emotions. She develops expressionistic style with surrealistic touch to reflect the complexity and non-linearity of human perceptions. She analytically converts abstract concepts and real human emotions into vivid visual images.Her artworks have philosophical background and contain allegories and an invitation for the viewer to continue the dialogue. She inspires the viewers to start their own search of philosophical senses hidden behind the surface.n Iryna works with acrylic on canvas and uses multilayer technique, which adds volume to the compositions. She is also active in installations and animation.
