Hello, I’m Irina — an artist working with plants, symbols, and the subtle transformations of the natural world.
Irina Vinnik is an artist and illustrator whose work blends botanical observation, mythology, and the visual language of alchemical manuscripts. Trained as an architect, she brings precision, structure, and a sense of quiet detail to her watercolor, ink, and graphic works.
Her illustrations and designs have been created for Simon & Schuster, Macmillan Publishers, Hungry Minds Publishing, MIF Publishing, and the Imperial Porcelain Factory, alongside numerous independent projects and personal series.
Since 2011, Irina has been developing an ongoing collection of illustrated calendars, each exploring a distinct theme through plants, symbols, and narrative detail. Her hand-drawn works and printed editions are held in private collections in the USA, UK, France, Canada, Finland, Hungary, and Russia.
Born in Saint Petersburg, she is currently based between Serbia and Thailand, where she continues to create, research, and expand her artistic world — from botanical studies and alchemical narratives to larger conceptual projects and exhibition work.
