Irene is an Amsterdam based artist who graduated in fine arts at Rietveld Academy in 2020. Her paintings and spacial installations derive from a facination for socialpsychological processes, like flirting or dreaming. They try to disrupt proportions by which we usually understand our relations toward other people or objects and the spaces in which they exist.
