About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Vibrant, expressive, and bursting with energy, Fiona (Sketch 2) is a striking example of Yermolova’s ability to capture movement and emotion through bold abstraction. The figure, caught in a moment of introspection, is bathed in a luminous palette that enhances the sense of warmth and vitality. The expressive brushwork and fluid application of oil on canvas make this piece feel alive, as if the subject is shifting within the painting. The composition is dominated by warm tones—burnt oranges, deep reds, and golden yellows—set against softer pastels and a dramatic red backdrop. The layering of oil paint adds both texture and depth, creating a visceral, tactile surface. Yermolova’s signature drips and raw strokes heighten the painting’s dynamic energy, blurring the boundaries between figuration and abstraction. Signed and ready to display, Fiona (Sketch 2) is a bold, captivating work that exudes warmth and movement. It is currently available for purchase at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online. Artist Bio: Ukranian Iryna Yermolova was born in 1978. She is a contemporary painter of fluid, luminous and intuitive figurative artworks on canvas and moved to the UK in 2005. Her career began in an entirely different sphere: economics and graphic design. She credits oil painting with entirely transforming her life and outlook, allowing her to explore sensations that words and numbers can only hint at. She currently lives and works in Dorset. Combining her Ukrainian upbringing with a creative drive inspired by the English countryside, Iryna Yermolova presents bold yet sensitive studies with a confident style and striking use of light and colour. In her most recent body of work, her powerful imagery is greatly influenced by her formative years and the iconography surrounding orthodox religion; dreamlike compositions of youthful figures merge with the inner-self and ideas surrounding identity, culture and myth as well as a more personal journey, that of an artist, mother and woman. Her seductive portraits feature powerful brushwork and effortless integrity. Real, fleeting moments are imbued with emotion in each stroke of oil paint. The artist is more likely to reach for a palette knife than her brushes and enjoys experimenting with texture and mixed media. With a background in graphic design, the subject of her pieces becomes secondary importance as she prioritises creating a harmonious composition and colour scheme. These undulating studies appear to unravel as the viewer tries to grasp the image, engaging with themes of ephemerality and transience. A regular exhibitor at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters’ annual show at the Mall Galleries in London, she has been an integral member of the Paragon stable for seven years.
