Painter: Alexandrina Irina Gennadevna

Irina was born on January 31, 1965. In 1977 she moved from Moscow to St. Petersburg. In 1983 she graduated from the Leningrad Secondary Art School named after B.V. Ioganson at the Russian Academy of Arts. A year later she entered the Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture named after I.E. Repin at the Russian Academy of Arts of Russia. During her studies at the Faculty of Architecture, she took a course in painting technique. After receiving her diploma, Irina was actively involved in painting, researching various techniques, materials and subjects. As a result of a long creative search, the urban landscape became the main genre of the artist. It was the images of the views of St. Petersburg at the turn of the 18-19 centuries that brought such fame to the artist. Graceful ladies with fans in their hands walking arm in arm with their cavaliers, carriages with horses in the very center of the city on Palace Square or Nevsky Prospect, as well as the incredibly conveyed atmosphere of that very old Petersburg ”brought fame and recognition as a unique artist to Irina Alexandrina.

Irina's biography includes more than 10 personal exhibitions not only in Russia, but also abroad: in Barcelona, ​​Prague, Florence, Berlin, Los Angeles. In 2010, during the official visit of the Russian President to the United States, Dmitry Medvedev donated the St. Petersburg landscape to Stanford University.
