Living and working in Portugal, Irina Anis draws inspiration from the ocean, local light, and colors surrounding her home studio. Working primarily with oil on canvas, she explores texture, layers, balance, emotion, and expression through flowers, landscapes, seascapes, and portraits. Her background in literature influenced her understanding of human emotions before she transitioned fully to visual arts and studied at the Stroganov Academy in Moscow. Her paintings convey warmth, light, color, mood, and quiet reflection.
