During the full-scale russian invasion, Iryna's hometown  was heavily destroyed and occupied, but she survived and moved  to Denmark. Her watercolor "Spring 2022" shows the emotions of people who were in Mariupol during the fighting.

The artist continues to work, creating new paintings and graphics in Denmark. Her paintings of this period tell us that life on the planet could be peaceful and without wars, if people wished for it.

Irina's first solo exhibition in Denmark was opened by the Mayor of Randers Municipality  Torben Hansen, thereby laying the foundation for subsequent solo exhibitions in Aarhus and Langaa. One of Iryna’s paintings was used in  the New Year’s speech of Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.​

In October 2023, the artist is working at the Klitgaarden Refugium, art-residency on Skagen, with the support of the Displaced Artists Network. Her new painting, series "Prime",  are increasingly surreal, while the artist experiments with techniques in acrylic painting. Iryna  works in various techniques, oil and acrylic painting, watercolor, drawing, in various  genres, revealing and exploring new aspects of the sensations of the intangible world.
