Irina Vitalievna Karkabi was born in Kharkov, in 1960, in a family of scientists. Irina started drawing at a preschool age, and her parents immediately realized that this was her way. During her school years, the artist honed her talent, and after receiving a certificate, she left for Leningrad without hesitation. There, Karkabi entered the Academy of Fine Arts and graduated with honors.

While still a student, Irina Karkabi met her soul mate and got married. Soon a daughter appeared in the young family. After graduating from the Academy in 1982, the artist emigrated to Israel with her husband and child. They chose to live in Haifa, a city in the north of the country near The Mediterranean Sea.

The culture of the Mediterranean, ancient and mysterious, has become an inexhaustible source of inspiration for the artist. It was easy and pleasant to work in the city by the sea, and there were more and more fans of creativity. Soon, Karkabi opened her studio and began painting not only for the soul, but also to order.

The artist herself says that in her works she explores the secrets of love and beauty. Sometimes it seems that she is very close to the solution — her paintings simply gush with sensuality, expression and femininity. In them, symbolism is elegantly intertwined with classics, and antique motifs with the most modern.
