Bio Irina Troitskaya grew up in Izhevsk, an industrial city deep into Russia. She has been drawing for as long as she can remember. Her delicate, surreal and poetic works record those fragile moments of life which hard to capture, because they vanish from our sight in a blink. She tells us stories of intimate relationships between a bear and a bird or a fish and a lion whose coexistence seems impossible, but yet true.
Irina practiced her skills at the Udmurt State University, Faculty of Arts in Izhevsk, Russia. Later she entered the University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, England and got her Master's in Illustration. Now she works as a freelance illustrator. She is also a tutor of Visual Communications course, Foundation level and Level 2 Illustration course pathway leader of British Higher school of Art and Design, Moscow, Russia.
Started to publish illustrations in 2003, Irina works for press, advertising and book publishing. She has been commissioned by Elle, Afisha, Popular Finances, Kids, Hewlett-Packard, Alfa-Capital, Yandex and BMW – to name but a few. Her works are in private collections in Russia, Spain, China, Argentina, USA and United Kingdom.
