Description:
Irina Vilkovir's works are kept in world famous galleries and museums. Vilkovir has held personal exhibitions and participated in more than 50 group exhibitions.
The naked bodies of a woman and a girl are brightly lit in a warm orange light coming from the stove.
The use of very few colors and the angularity of the forms echo the rigid style of Soviet painters Andrei Vasnetsov, Viktor Ivanov, and Igor Obrosov.
