From Heart to Heart

"My paintings are monumental, filled with colour and texture. The colours in my paintings are full of symbolic meanings - real human relationships are transformed into colour allusions. In interiors, the paintings sound authentic and contemporary," says the artist.

"Playing with shapes is interesting because the shape is seen as a philosophical object of reality, which can be interpreted and re-discovered every time." - She says. Even the Madonnas painted by the artist are closer to abstraction than portraiture. 

The artist reflects on phenomena and states of being through combinations of colours and shapes, giving flesh to the invisible and intangible. The artist herself says that colour is the essential element of her work, and that the forms, their concreteness and rhythm, complement this idea.

Irina Troma is a professional painter, earth artist and educator. She is the founder and director of the adult painting studio "My Colour". Based on her pedagogical experience, she has created an original educational colour art programme for adults.
