About Irina Pandeva
In her work, Irina follows a personal renaissance line - a restoration of her creative voice, connected to history, but unencumbered by strict formalism. Instead of sacred images, she paints living, human faces, often female, unusual characters and emotions that tell stories and provoke inner experience. Her style combines naive, colorful and contemporary expression, seeking play, freedom and self-expression.
In 2026 she was included in the second edition of "Contemporary Bulgarian Naive Artists - The Undiscovered Naive"
Today, her works find homes in private collections in Bulgaria, Italy, Israel, the USA, France, Germany, the UK, Belgium and other countries.
