Iryna Akimova.

Iryna Akimova is a contemporary Ukrainian artist who lives and works in Kiev. She graduated from Kharkov State University (Ukraine), where she got her PhD degree. She concentrates on studying the roots of the individuality in the formation of subjective perceptions of the reality. She looks at the transformation of individual perceptions and believes into different prints of the same reality. She develops expressionistic style with surrealistic touch to reflect the complexity and non-linearity of human perceptions. Her artworks have philosophical background and contain allegories and an invitation for the viewer to continue the dialogue.. Iryna works with acrylic on canvas and uses multilayer technique, which adds volume to the compositions.
Iryna had ten solo exhibitions, and took part in 50+ national and international group exhibitions. She received awards at several international art contests. Several her artworks entered museums and private collections in Ukraine, Germany, Slovakia, and China. Iryna is a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine. She founded Ukrainian Association of Feminine Research in the Arts (UAFRA) and established an annual Womens’ArtFest to advocate gender equality in the arts.
