Irina Magon

Artist Statement

My name is Irina Magon, and I have been working as an artist since 2014.

At this stage of my career, I focus on creating original artworks, expressing my own artistic vision and style.


My paintings are meant to draw the viewer inside a moment, to experience the emotions and states that people encounter at different stages of their lives, shaped by the constant changes of the world around us.

I work with oil colors in the style of figurative realism, using the alla prima technique. Bold, large strokes act as accents, guiding the viewer’s attention toward the essential points of each composition. I often limit myself to no more than three primary colors, and my latest series is created in monochrome black and white — a deliberate choice to focus the viewer on meaning and depth rather than color.


The purpose

The purpose of my work is to invite reflection on the value of time, life, and freedom, and to inspire the strength that comes from overcoming challenges.


Much of my inspiration comes from my own life experiences, which is why I pay special attention to the expression of female power in my art. My current series is still in progress, evolving as I continue to explore these themes on canvas.
