Born in 2000 in Georgia, Irinka now lives and works in Tbilisi.

Her work examines the relationship between a thing and its essence, between what we see and what an image implies. The sense of precarious equilibrium that can be found in her paintings  reveals just how sadly dystopian an image can be that, at first glance, appears happily utopian. It thus reveals how utopia and dystopia can coexist within the same image.
