All Of My Songs Can Only Be Composed Of The Greatest Of Pains.

Tuomas Holopainen

name... Eirene... or Artbesa
real name... Irina Smolyannikova-Strekova
day of birth... march, 15... place of birth... Voronezh, Russia.

I like sky, clouds, rainbow, rain, stars, sunbeams, animals, pine-trees, wind, fragrances... music of Placebo, Tiamat, Depeche Mode, Sopor Aeternus & the Ensemble of Shadows, Tristania, Babylon Zoo, Nightwish, Theatre of Tragedy, Leaves' eyes, Muse... and more...

faithfulness... sincerity... books... poetry... art... Dali, Vrubel, Mucha, Klimt, Beardsley, Seurat... pre-raphaelites...

My artworks are created mostly with Indian ink and gel-ink pen, they fashioned my pencil. All of my drawings are imaging of my feelings; my perception of reality and dreams. Among the other things I like to illustrate poetry. There are images of angels and demons as well.

Thanks to everyone who's with me from the beginning till the end... for Light and Darkness... for Creative Life.
