Primavera. First Greenery. (2025) Original Oil Painting by Irina Smirnova-Seymour

In “Primavera. First Greenery,” I bring together modern impressionism and figurative art, transforming a female portrait into an image of spring, awakening nature, and inner renewal. Vibrant colour, the first touches of fresh greenery, and scattered flowers create a language of symbolism, giving this emotional painting a sense of new life and placing it within the world of contemporary art.

For me, the figure exists somewhere between reality and imagination, between the human world and nature. Green touches her face as though spring itself is gradually entering her world. I wanted to capture that fleeting moment when, after a long winter, we notice the first young leaves and feel that something within us is beginning to awaken as well.
