Ira Blum — a contemporary Russian artist from Yaroslavl, working in an original technique of textured painting and epoxy resin. She was born in 1986 in Nerekhta, Kostroma region.
Her work is based on the exploration of volume, light, and the tactility of surfaces. In her pieces, the artist combines texture paste, oil, and acrylic to create expressive relief compositions. Textured flowers painted in oil hold a special place in her art: bright field compositions, exotic plants, and large decorative inflorescences. Voluminous petals and multilayered painted surfaces create an effect of living presence and depth, turning the painting into an almost sculptural object.
Besides painting, Ira actively works with epoxy resin, creating contemporary abstract seascapes and interior artworks with effects of depth and movement. The contrast between glossy resin surfaces and matte textured layers forms a striking modern style.
She received her artistic education at an art school (with honors) and also holds an architectural degree, which is reflected in the compositional structure of her works. Additionally, she completed professional courses in working with epoxy resin and creating textured interior paintings.
The artist’s works are held in private and corporate collections. Her style is distinguished by emotionality, decorative expressiveness, and a recognizable plasticity of texture.
