Irena has had a successful career in architecture and design, and holds a degree in Architectural Studies. http://www.ivdesigners.com/ Besides being a prolific artist herself, Irena has made a name for herself in the field of interior design in L.A. Extraordinarily versatile in her mediums, Irena works with collage, utilizing aged newspapers to add visual interest and texture to her abstract paintings This combination of antique newsprint juxtaposed against loose, organically layered color schemes creates stimulating compositions that render themselves ideal candidates for todays modern decor. It is the tonal neutrality of Irenas work that has made her a popular choice for designers in the hospitality industry! Irena has lived in Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Canada, and now lives and works in Los Angeles. STATEMENT My art is a response of my soul to the reality. I create an emotional space through visual abstract images. Im curious in everything where I see energy of life. I see boundless and unforgettable opportunities of conveying real space for imagination and creating a new one. I try to develop an emotional and visual horizons of perception through my artworks as much as I constantly search for images that appeal to participation and emotional experience. This is an improvisation of reflections, feelings as well as definite and indefinite actions during the process of creation. Each of the improvisations merges into a specific form of art at the specific period of time. http://www.irenaorlov.com Exhibitions: 2011 The Happening Gallery , Marina Del Rey,Los Angeles, California (group) 2011 The Artists Alley Gallery, San Francisco California 2011 HD Expo, Las Vegas , Nevada 2010 The Waterfront Concert Theater, Marina Del Rey,Los Angeles, California (group) 2010 Teobs Foundation, Los Angeles, California, USA solo) 2010 DHB&BGS WORKS, Corporate exhibition Los Angeles, California, USA (solo) 2009 "DECOR" IV&V Orlov Designers LLC, Los Angeles,CA, USA (solo) 2007 Direct Home Builders Inc, Sherman Oaks, CA USA (solo) 1978 Art Exhibition at DKT Cultural Center, Kherson, Ukraine(group) Publications 2011 International Contemporary Artists vol II 2011 The Best Of The Best, Kennedy Publishing 2011 The Best Of Worldwide Abstract & Still Life Artists Vol. I, Kennedy Publishing/Best Of Artists (Featured on the front cover) 2010 International Contemporary Artists vol II
