Iryna Yermolova
Poolside 5-original figurative abstract female form painting-contemporary art

2025

About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. In Poolside 5, Yermolova continues her exploration of sunlit figures, blurring the boundaries between the human form and its surroundings. The figure appears almost weightless, dissolving into the background, with fluid strokes capturing both movement and stillness. Her expressive use of oil on canvas, applied in thick and gestural layers, enhances the dreamlike quality of the scene. The palette is warm and earthy, with burnt sienna, ochre, and soft neutral tones giving the work a sunlit glow. Splashes of white and cooler grays add contrast, lending depth to the abstracted space. There’s a harmony in the way the paint drips and melts together, evoking the feeling of a beautiful summer afternoon spent by the water. Signed and ready to display, Poolside 5 is a captivating portrayal of relaxation and fluidity. 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.
