Irina Inozemtseva-Lopes

Beschreibung

I‘m both an artist and an architect. I hold a degree in Architecture which included drawing, painting and sculpture from Kiev National University of Construction and Architecture. Since1990 I‘m a Member of the Portuguese Architect Union. Parallel to my professional activity, I have been doing a personal research, separate from Architecture. I have chosen painting as the main form of expression. The research is performed through the technique of oil and acrylic. In my latest set of works I explore concepts about the construction of Identity. One of the main interests for me, are the Portraits. In painting, the time of the portrait is dynamic - full of memories of the past and the foresight of the future. The portrait is constantly between artistic reflection and the mystique of reality. My purpose is not to copy a person‘s external appearance, but rather to create a portal for a journey to the psychological research using the human faces and the human eyes. The human eyes is where we can find the most complete, reliable and important information about this subject. In my own technique, the character of the emotions are marked by the need of telling the story of the feeling: HISTORY TOLD BY THE SILENCE OF A LOOK. When I paint a portrait, the work always has a basic idea. That is the concept that I apply to the screen. Sometimes I use a photography that inspires me for some reason, but I will not necessarily transfer the image directly to the canvas - it is merely a pretext that will ignite my painting. From there, I let the process of execution lead me to the final result. The painting, develops into something independent, with its own emotional weight. Each Portrait is a unique message and demands its own life.
