Dialogue with the Soul
IRINA FROLL
BIOGRAPHY
Irina Frolova visual artist based in Cascais, Portugal.
Irina was born in 1972 on the shores of the White Sea in Karelia, Russia, where her fine vision and love of nature began to form. Irina has a background in social psychology and social pedagogy and experience in entrepreneurship. For a long time she headed a jewelry manufacturing company in Moscow. However, her love for art and aesthetics was not limited to the jewelry industry. The accumulated knowledge and experience helped her to decide to add a new facet to her life. Art has always beckoned her, and she decided to devote herself to it, fully immersing herself in the artistic sphere and engaging in creative experiments. Her work is characterized by the sensuality and emotionality instilled in her by the nature of her native land. In 2019, she moved to Portugal, where she began a period of experimentation and her journey as an artist.
ARTIST STATMENT
In my work I try to convey the feelings that the world around me evokes. For me, art is not just a way of expressing myself, but also a means of communicating with others. I believe that each piece can tell its own story, evoke emotions and leave a mark in the hearts of the audience.
Expressionism attracts me with its freedom and deep expression. This artistic form allows me to explore and communicate my inner experiences, my joys and worries, my dreams and fears. I find inspiration in bright colors, which become the main language of my creativity. Every shade, every stroke is a part of my soul that I reveal to the viewer.
My work often focuses on colors and their depth. Flowers are for me a symbol of life, beauty and tenderness, they reflect the complexity of human emotions. I am trying to convey their richness and diversity, creating an atmosphere in which the viewer can feel part of this world.
Boats and travel are also important in my art. They symbolize movement, change and the possibility of new discoveries. Through the images of boats, I explore the topic of finding my place in the world, the quest for freedom and adventure. Every trip is a chance to know myself and the world around me, and I hope that through my work I can inspire others to explore their own ways.
So through my paintings I strive to create a space where the viewer can stop, reflect and feel. I believe that art can connect people, and my goal is to create works that will speak to everyone in their own way.
