IRINA KOVALEVSKAYA
Member of the Creative Union of Artists of Russia
A modern Russian artist with a non-trivial biography, she came to the territory of art from the sphere of academic science. There is duality in Irina's canvases, they simultaneously appeal to the sensual and conscious experience of the viewer. They are distinguished by a special semantic palette, when the color itself transmits information.
The ethnic memory of the artist also combined two aspects - Irina has both, Latvian and Russian roots, European and Russian cultural experience. Irina inherited the skill of analytical thinking and creative understanding of reality from her father, who was a journalist and writer, and also got a romantic attitude from her mother.
The theme of Irina Kovalevskaya's canvas can be the sound landscape of the city, the elusive sensory of a particular moment, or the impression that prompted the artist to a philosophical generalization. Everything that can be defined by the concept of "intellectual impressionism".
Today, the artist's priority is to create art that works on multiple levels. These canvases provide an opportunity to have a direct sensory experience for the neophytes, while the connoisseurs of painting are invited into the space of multidimensional meanings.
The environmental agenda has much importance in Irina Kovalevskaya’s work, but this topic is never narrowly resolved, it is not reduced to the problems of environmental initiatives. Irina comprehends the very laws of the evolutionary process and evaluates the results of human activity globally.
