irina litinsky

Irina is a visual artist who lives and works in Toronto. Since her graduation from George Brown College with a Graphic Design Major she’s been working successfully as a Graphic Artist in the Marketing and Advertising field. Being passionate about art she has also started a new career complimenting her design accomplishments – painting. Irina has taken numerous classes and workshops with top artists at home and abroad – Lila Lewis Irving, Bianka Guna, Alvaro Castagnet, Margaret Roseman, Brian Smith, Megan Williams and others.

Irina’s medium of choice is fluid acrylics. Her painting technique and pictorial language are in the constant process of development and changing; she sees it as a way of achieving her unique style. In her works colors appear to flow on the surface, but very often her compositions are connected with the physical gesture of paint application. Her painting process is not theoretical, but primarily physical and sensory.

Irina is also an art educator. She’s been teaching drawing and painting fundamentals at the Koffler Centre of the Arts. Peter My Boy, a book designed and illustrated by Irina was recently published by Kindle Amazon.
