Collection: Iryna Luz, visual artist

Iryna Luz was born on January 2, 1991, in the city of Ternopil, Ukraine. From a young age, she was fascinated by paintbrushes and colored pencils, always loving to paint and draw. Her interest grew as she discovered how to translate her vibrant imagination and colorful universe onto paper. However, in her teenage years, Iryna was forced to leave painting behind when she moved to Lisbon.

In Lisbon, she studied aesthetics and wellness, working in that field and putting her passion for painting on hold. Despite this, her love for art never faded. An avid reader and music lover, she finds meditation, the beach, and sunshine essential to her routine, along with frequent visits to museums and art galleries.

A keen observer of everything around her, Iryna is captivated by her surroundings. Constantly attuned to various forms of art and the vibrant colors of nature, she gradually returned to putting her emotions onto paper. Surrounded by harmony and balance, and disconnected from the external world, she rediscovered her inspiration for painting.

Now, immersed in music and the blending of colors, her paintings have reemerged. Iryna primarily identifies with oil and acrylic techniques, using nature, emotions, and people as her main sources of inspiration. Today, she continues to live in Lisbon, pursuing her dream of becoming a painter.
