My name is Irina Novikova. I am graphic artist.
Drawing began to interest me from an early age, the first subjects for me were Fantastic birds and animals. By my first education I am an art critic (State Academy of Slavic Cultures),by my second I am a graphic designer(MGTA).
The main techniques that I use are watercolor, ink, gouache, acrylic. I love experimenting and mixing different materials. I draw a lot on environmental topics. The first big series that I drew is the “RedBook” dedicated to rare and endangered species of animals and birds.
I do illustrations, invent various creatures and stories for them, draw nature and portraits. I like to do the whole line drawings, forming the composition first in my head. I am inspired by baroque music and black and white films. Recently, I have been leaning more and more towards symbolism.

I am wondering if you are the Irina who did life modeling in Columbus, Ohio? The Irina I knew disappeared in Washington DC years ago. I have always worried about her and hoped she was alive. Would you happen to be her?
