Welcome to KopyrinaArt.
I'm Iryna Kopyrina, an artist from Ukraine. For many years I worked as an interior designer, shaping spaces for other people — but the human form, drawn in charcoal and oil, was always the thing I came back to on my own time. Eventually I stopped treating it as a side pursuit and made it my work.
Each piece starts loose and instinctive — gesture before detail, emotion before precision. I'm drawn to the quiet intimacy between two people: an embrace, a moment of closeness, the weight of bodies leaning into each other. Charcoal lets me work in contrast and shadow; oil lets me slow down and build depth. Both, to me, are ways of capturing something honest.
Art has also been a place of steadiness for me during a difficult time for Ukraine — a way to keep creating when so much else feels uncertain.
Every piece is made by hand, one at a time, and I care about it reaching you well — from the first sketch to the moment it's on your wall. Thank you for supporting independent art. I hope my work brings a little more warmth into your space.
Warmly,
Iryna Kopyrina
