Collection: Irina Merzlenco
Irina has been passionate about art from a young age, deeply influenced by her grandfather, the renowned portrait artist Nikolai Ivanovich Provodenko, who introduced her to painting at the age of three.
Her artistic journey continued through formal education at Donetsk Art College, where she honed her skills in various styles and techniques.
Her work spans multiple genres, including portraiture, still life, and animalism, though she particularly enjoys the elegance of hat design, which she sees as a symbol of femininity and glamour. Inspired by everything around her, her artwork is featured in private collections across all continents except Antarctica.
She continues to exhibit her paintings in art salons and galleries, always exploring new ideas and creative directions.
