On the Yellow Rug (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Irina Plaksina

I painted this calm, playful moment of a deep blue cat stretching on a warm yellow rug, surrounded by bright oranges. I was inspired by the quiet comfort of home — the way a cat lazily occupies its favorite spot while small everyday objects create a simple, cheerful still life. I enjoy combining bold colors and simple shapes to create a feeling of warmth, balance, and a touch of whimsy.

I enjoy working with mixed media, combining acrylic, wax pencils and collage elements to create texture, color and a light sense of whimsy.
