Artist in conversation: Iryna Parepskaya
“ I believe that energy is the new currency in a world where treating people better is essential. ”
Meet Iryna, a visionary artist whose creations are more than just visually appealing; they form a powerful conduit for soul healing. Her palette blends soft colors and metallics, intricately infused with sacred geometry and ancient symbolism, resulting in masterpieces carrying profound spiritual resonance.
Each painting invites viewers to immerse in a kaleidoscope of colors and emotions, emanating harmonious energy. Guided by her intuition, Iryna allows the universe's energies to steer her brush, culminating in an ethereal finish using her signature "stardust blowing technique" that sprinkles gold dust on each artwork.
In a world often overwhelmed by chaos, her creations offer tranquility, providing a sanctuary for healing and solace.
What initially inspired you to become an artist, and how did you develop your unique style?
My journey into the world of art was serendipitous. While living in Carpi, I had a profound encounter with spirituality and numerology. This awakening sparked my desire to express my spiritual connection through art. My unique style emerged as a fusion of soft colors, metallic, sacred geometry, and ancient symbolism. It developed organically, guided by the energies and messages of the universe, resulting in what I now call Soul Energy Art.
In terms of subject matter, what themes or motifs do you frequently explore in your work, and what draws you to these topics?
My art delves into the profound relationship between energy and colors. I explore how colors interact with energy fields and their frequencies influence our subconscious minds. My work often centers on themes of healing, harmony, and transformation. I’m drawn to these topics because I believe that energy is the new currency in a world where treating people better is essential.
How do you navigate the balance between self-destruction and re-creation as a way towards conscious Happiness?
The balance between self-destruction and re-creation is a complex journey. I believe that true happiness comes from self-awareness and transformation. My art serves as a bridge for this process. Through deep motivate practices, I establish a soul-to-soul connection with clients, channeling colors and symbols that resonate with their unique journeys. The “stardust blowing technique” seals the positive energy in the painting, reinforcing the bond between energy and the universe, allowing art to positively impact lives.
Can you discuss a specific piece or project that challenged you as an artist, and how you overcome those challenges?
One particularly challenging yet profoundly rewarding project that comes to mind is a painting I created after experiencing a semi-conscious dream in Hong Kong. In this dream, the presence of the Madonna, a powerful symbol of feminine energy, was vividly revealed to me. The dream left a deep imprint on my soul, but translating that ethereal encounter into a tangible work of art proved to be a daunting task.
The challenge lay in capturing the essence of the divine feminine energy while ensuring it resonated with viewers on a soulful level. It was a delicate balance between the ethereal and the earthly, between the spiritual and the material. I needed to convey the profound message of the dream while creating a piece that could stand as a bridge to connect others with the same transformative energy.
To overcome this challenge, I embarked on a journey of deep introspection and meditation. I immersed myself in the energy of the dream, allowing it to guide my creative process. The result was a painting that not only captured the essence of the divine feminine but also served as a vessel for healing and transformation.
This project taught me the importance of surrendering to the creative process, trusting my intuition, and embracing the spiritual messages that guide my art. It reinforced the belief that art is a powerful channel for connecting with the profound energies that shape our existence, and it serves as a reminder of the boundless possibilities that art can unlock within us.
How do you stay connected with other artists and keep up with new developments and trends in the art world?
What I do is quite unique. My Art is given to me, it’s coming directly to me via meditation and connections with the Nature so it doesn’t belong to trends. It is high inspiration and it is very authentic.
Art, for me, is an ever-evolving journey, and staying connected with “the world” rather than the Art world is essential to my growth as an artist.
How do you incorporate feedback from critics and audiences into your artistic practice, and how do you balance this feedback with your own artistic intuition?
Feedback is invaluable, and I always welcome it with an open heart. It provides different perspectives that can enrich my work. However, I also believe in the importance of maintaining my artistic intuition. I carefully consider feedback but ultimately make decisions that align with my vision and the intended energy of the piece.
How do you stay motivated and inspired despite any setbacks or creative blocks you may encounter?
As I said previously, I find motivation and inspiration in meditation and I feel like I’m given the inspiration. Both meditation and nature have a transformative power so when I ever fill a block, I tune in to reignite my creative spark.
How do you feel about exhibiting your artworks with The Holy Art Gallery?
I was excited to exhibit my artwork with The Holy Art Gallery. Their commitment to showcasing transformative and spiritually resonant art aligns perfectly with my own vision. It's an opportunity to connect with a like-minded community of art lovers and explore the infinite possibilities of creativity.
Looking ahead, what are your long-term goals and aspirations as an artist, and how do you plan to achieve them?
My long-term goals revolve around spreading the healing and transformative power of Soul Energy Art to a global audience. I plan to achieve this by continuing to create art that resonates with the soul and participating in exhibitions and collaborations that share this vision. Ultimately, I aspire to inspire positive change and well-being through art, touching the lives of many along the way.
