synergy of beauty
I started working on this series in September 2022, when I experienced the shock of a full-scale war and, despite the horror around me, I wanted to create something beautiful with the message that beauty will save the world and that despite everything, you can create something beautiful despite the destruction of pain and fear - this is how the idea of the Synergy of Beauty series was born. Combining the beauty of flowers and women, it carries the idea of faith and the victory of beauty over destruction.
The style with a touch of surrealism was chosen because it gives freedom to imagination and creativity, thus helping to complete the desired image or painting.
In the process of creating the series, I experiment with different styles and techniques.
The series unites paintings created by different means.
Domashenko's work delves into the complex relationship between nature and humans, while exploring the nuances of the human condition. Her photographs invite viewers on an introspective journey, encouraging them to search for deeper meaning. The works honor the inherent beauty of the world, emphasizing the value of life and the importance of respecting and protecting it.
Iryna has received numerous awards at international competitions. In 2023, her series “Synergy of Beauty” won the first Advertising award at Le Prix de la Photographie de Paris and second place at the International Photography Awards. In 2024, the series “Synergy of the Beautiful Triptychs” won a gold medal in the Portfolio, Fine Art category at the Tokyo International Photo Awards. Her works have also received silver and bronze medals, as well as honorable mentions at the Tokyo International Foto Awards, Budapest International Foto Awards, ND Awards and Fine Art Photography Awards.
Iryna Domashenko's work has been exhibited and published internationally, including at the PX3 Paris Photo Prize 2023 exhibition in Paris. Her works have been presented in the USA, France, Hungary, Italy, Greece, as well as in museums and galleries in Kyiv. Iryna's photographs are kept in the collections of the Khmelnytsky Photo Art Museum and the Museum of the History of Kyiv.
