Irina's Vasilyeva graphics were made in the traditions of the artists of the Krug association and Arefevtsy. Her paintings about the city, about the neighborhood, about the life of people and things. The first acquaintance with "Mitka", which in the future influenced her life and work, happened by chance: Irina, still in art school, went with friends to Ferapontovo, where she met Alexander and Olga Florensky. Vasilyeva Irina Gennadievna was born in 1970 in Leningrad; currently lives and works in St. Petersburg.
