Irinka Talakhadze
Painting
b. 2000
Lives and works in Tbilisi, Georgia
Raised by an artist father, Irinka Talakhadze has been in contact with art for as long as she can remember. With her father's passing, making art makes her feel close to him again—bringing extra special meaning to her works. Talakhadze strives to convincingly convey the energy she feels to her work so viewers can experience and share these same feelings. In that sense, everything can be, and is, a source of inspiration to her—from the spontaneity she gleans from Francis Bacon’s work, to a small and quotidian occurrence. Talakhadze's colorful work is also partly inscribed in the Soviet aesthetic and explores the relationship between something and its essence—what we see and what an image makes us believe. Associating transparency with a kind of honesty, Talakhadze strives to express her inner world through her emotionally charged works of art.
