My name is Irina De Vicente. I was born and grew up in St. Petersburg, Russia. Since 2018 I live with my family in Galicia, Spain.
Since I can remember, I have always been interested in art, so I began to study classical painting at a private art school and I studied art at the “Imperial Academy of Fine Arts” in St. Petersburg. There, I fell in love with the artistic heritage of Russia, but especially with Russian folk art: Khokhloma, Zhostovo, Gzhel, Mezen, Gorodets, Palekh, Fedoskino, Kholui and many others. These styles are now famous all over the world.
My goal is to teach you in a simple and structured way, the basic techniques of Russian Folk Art to start creating your own art works. In the process you will learn a history of Russian Folk Art, how people did it centuries ago, what a hidden symbolic meaning is in different folk styles.
