Irina Pandeva
Based in Bansko, Bulgaria, Irina Pandeva paints portraits of people with intriguing details, textured layers, whimsical flair, and vibrant flowers. Inspired by her thoughts, nature, and books, she uses her subjects as a way to “turn the mirrors back to the viewers waiting for someone to recognize their own reflection and take it with them”. From green apples to night flights to old romantics, we think her artwork can be a great way to create a chic yet curious atmosphere.

Margarita Ivanova
Yerevan, Armenia-based artist Margarita Ivanova creates paintings and mixed media portraits, often layered with analogies, and infused with birch trees and other elements of nature. Combining a realistic depiction of a person with the idea of metamodernism, she depicts her subjects as people who are constantly balancing between “internal and external, personal and collective, real and virtual, obvious and hidden”. From afternoon dreams to red seas to sunsets in the birch forest, her prints pull you into symbolic scenes. Making her artwork an interesting way to create an intriguing and intimate atmosphere.

From mirrors in gold to meditation in green hues to red blooms, her prints are full of color. If you’re looking to create a textured atmosphere or add movement to your space, we think her artwork can be a lovely way to achieve your goals.

Studio B
Based in Los Angeles, California, Studio B creates mixed media art of textured abstracts. Inspired by textiles, patterns on the earth’s surface, and striking color combinations, she’s “drawn to creating bold, abstract art because of the level of subjectivity it allows”. From desert sunsets to purple swirls to the light within, we think her artwork can be a great way to add movement and expressive vibes to your space. You may have seen her work appear on shows like Grey’s Anatomy, Homeland, and The Odd Couple.
