Irina Shchukina, known by her pseudonym Irina Goldenfish, was born on September 4, 1971, in the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union. She began her artistic journey by creating handmade dolls and painting porcelain. Over time, she transitioned to painting, which became her primary focus. Irina explores various techniques and materials to convey emotions and human interactions through her work. She emphasizes the collaborative nature of art, stating, "Each work of art is always a co-authorship of the one who created it and the one who sees and listens to it."[1]
Artistic Style and Notable Works
Irina's recent works have been heavily influenced by Impressionism, focusing on how color creates dynamics in static settings. Her series "The Miracle of Impressionism" includes notable works such as "Holland Tulips I" and "Sensual Flame," which explore the transformation of paint into light and capture fleeting moments of the natural world.[2]
Sagrada Familia
In 2020, Irina Goldenfish's painting "The Holy Family" was prominently featured in Beyoncé's visual album and film Black Is King, which was inspired by the 2019 remake of The Lion King.

Created in the style of Modern Renaissance, the painting reinterprets historical themes through a modern lens.[3][4][5]
