Artist Statement
Irina Luma is a Ukrainian artist and photographer living and working in France.
Her work explores memory, identity, feminine presence, and emotional landscapes through abstraction, movement, layering, and botanical forms.
Using physical image layering, blur, reflections, and visual fragmentation, she creates photographs that exist between presence and disappearance — between documentation and inner sensation.
Her practice is rooted in visual poetry, minimalism, and the idea that photography can convey not only appearance, but also emotional states, memory, and traces of human experience.
