Ирина Кленке

Drawing on a background in hydraulic engineering in Belarus, where she specialized in fluid dynamics and pressure systems, Icontemporary integrates scientific analysis with a metaphysical approach to abstraction. After moving to Germany, she pursued formal artistic training and established a practice that blends engineering logic with spiritual and intuitive concerns. Her work is shaped by influences ranging from Marc Chagall and Wassily Kandinsky to Leonardo da Vinci and surrealism. Frequently employing vessel-like forms as symbols of transformation and inner states, she creates large-scale paintings in muted tones of champagne, sand, and graphite, often incorporating natural 24K gold.
