About

Irena Brodeski is a programmer and an artist living in Israel, originally from Odessa, Ukraine. She has drawn, painted and sculpted her entire life in different techniques and mediums, without any official artistic education. She also illustrated several books using digital technologies. Currently she deals mostly with watercolor, as she finds it a most challenging medium.

She gained to study Japanese Sumi-e painting with Kazuo Ishii, Japanese traditional calligraphy artist, and academical drawing with Valery Medvedev, a Ukrainian sculptor.

As she has spent the last 30 years surrounded by sand and desert, she gets most of her inspiration from oases of blue and green that surround her, as well as from interesting color combinations and light in nature.

Despite being occupied with computers most of her time, she considers arts as her way of life and invests most of her spare time in developing her skills in drawing and painting, and constantly enwidens her knowledge in history and psychology of art.

Throughout a few recent years Irena has participated in a few international online and offline competitions and exhibitions. Her pieces of art are kept in several private collections around the world.
