Irina Vigovskaya

Born 1970 in Kyiv, Ukraine.

I am 50 years old and I allowed myself to be an artist.

Life is so short, this year the coronavirus has reached me. I realized it is not worth postponing what I love. Even if you declare yourself at 50. I am an aspiring artist. But I have something to say to the world.

For twenty years I have been engaged in restoration and expert activities. The last eight years have been teaching. And during the lockdown in 2020, I decided to become an artist – just create. Show on canvas your emotions, experiences and just life experience. Because life can end at any moment, and this year I was convinced of this, having had a coronavirus. My message is to live a fulfilling life, not postponing anything for later.

My picture Midlwoman, about relationships. To the world, to each other, past and future. I am the guide. Generations of people do not understand each other, who are 70 today, do not understand 10 year olds. They were born in different worlds with different values and needs. I see a wall of misunderstanding between them. The old people cannot adapt to the modern language, the young ones do not want to give in due to inexperience. It’s all about the concepts they use. I realized that I had to help them. Mutual understanding is important in a relationship. Midlwomam between the past and the future.
