IAS Art & Design 

"My passion for art and design is the heartbeat of my creativity - where every stroke, shade and shape becomes a voice for what words cannot express”

BIOGRAPHY
 
Irina Smirnova-Seymour is an accomplished artist who has dedicated her entire life to exploring and mastering a wide range of artistic disciplines. She studied art at an Art College in the former Soviet Union, where she laid the foundation for her diverse creative journey. For the last 25 years she lives and works in U.K
 
Over the years, Irina has worked in many fascinating fields of art, including tapestry making, batik, graphic design, and decorative and fine arts. For the past 10 years, she has taking a break from her creative life and has dedicated this time to traveling, gaining new experiences, reevaluating her work and getting inspiration for the new start in her art career.
 
In the last year, Irina returned to painting and she has truly refined her artistic voice, and today her work fully reflects her vision. She lives in Torquay in a beautiful coastal town that she deeply loves. The sea and fantastic nature surrounding has become the main source of inspiration in her art. Her style now can be described as modern Impressionism.
