Oftentimes, we reminisce about our memories, remembering their faces, their laughter, the way the sun set, the happiness of it all, the small moments that make a lifetime worth having. This universal experience is precisely why it’s important to capture those moments, so that we can eternally recollect our favorite or even visualize our deepest fantasies. Artist Irina Roberts knows this well. Inspired by creating pieces that will forever bring happiness and art that turns off everyday distractions, Roberts delivers paintings that showcase the world for how truly inspiring it is in ways that are relatable to the everyday person.
Anyone who witnesses Roberts’ pieces could certainly find something within them that sparks memory, entices their thoughts, and evokes a familiar emotion. The artist has a way of blending the intricacy of human feelings and remembering into works full of color, full of life, and full of remembrance. Pictured on Roberts’ online gallery you’ll see that familiar beach view that makes you miss your very first coastal trip where you dipped your feet in the salty water for the very first time, you’ll see a similar silhouette that reminds you of your very first love and the time you two strolled along the beach, and perhaps you’ll find joy in the pet portraits that happen to look like your beloved four legged friend playing fetch with you while waves crashed onshore.
As a coastal artist, Roberts captures the essence of living by the bay with sand on your skin and salt in the air. She highlights the beauty of living in a coastal town with its charming creatures, mystical sea life, and snapshots into beach life and the people who lead it. Art enthusiasts can expect to recognize her works by the techniques she uses as a self-taught artist. Those who view her works can witness the deep blending of ocean blue, the combination of bright tones and hues, along with the soft glow of life itself. Irina Roberts’ mission is to evoke happiness in the home. Some of Roberts’ commission works display this as her clients proclaim their utmost gratitude and positive opinions on the pieces. Roberts has stated that over time her style has changed, but that she now appreciates the power of color and is not afraid to let it take over in her recent works.
