Education:
Academy of Art (St. Petersburg, Russia)
Irina Alexandrina graduated from the Russian State Academy of Art in 1991. From 1984-1991, Irina studied concurrently under the tutelage of architectural Professor V. Voloncevich and art Professor N. Andretsov. Her chief themes – seascapes and cityscapes – speak to common human experiences across many cultures found after a lifetime of travel.
Awards & Distinctions:
Irina Alexandrina's paintings are guided by her all-consuming passion to share the beauty and perfection of the universe. She believes that we often pass by its wonder in a hurry. Her work pays homage to the techniques and skillful touches of the old masters, mixed with abstract expressionism and contemporary styles.
Irina's paintings reflect the natural world around us, encompassing the contours, tones, colors, and balance of nature. The changing surfaces, use of bright and ethereal colors, and the consistent subtle movement of form and reason in her works are both thoughtful and fluid, challenging and peaceful.
Through her artwork, Alexandrina invites the viewer to participate in her personal journey. She currently works from her studio in Boca Raton, a beautiful and inspiring part of Florida.
