Irina Horsia and the Naga Masks
Drawing and painting from an early age, she never did let go of her passion. Instead, it accompanied her throughout her journeys, especially through her two-year voyage in India; there, she became fascinated by the people, the vibrant colors, and the way of life. She was infatuated with the various manifestations of art, temples, and structures – observing a strange world, one where she was the sole spectator.
Upon returning to Europe, after having approached the themes of the body and architecture in a variety of ways, she has created somewhat of a fantastical anatomy. One witnesses, throughout Irina Horsia’s works, the irruption of the Indian figure.
Using plaster to construct the figures in relief, she groups them in a specific order, which reflects the jewels and the original totems. It must be noted that she masters this mixed technique perfectly- oil, sometimes originals photos, glues, and plaster – offering a nice consistency and support for an ironical, and disturbing imagination.
