What’s ON
Irina Taneva has been awarded Best Micro / Freelancer Business at the Kingston Borough Business Awards — a wonderful recognition of her creativity and dedication to her art, classes, and events.
This nomination highlights the passion and hard work she brings to inspiring others through her artistic practice and teaching.
Irina Taneva invitates you to something truly special this May — a chance to step inside her creative world, experience her newest art up close, and be part of a vibrant local atmosphere you won’t want to miss.
This season, she’s excited to be participating in and organising not one, not two, but eight wonderful exhibitions across May and June — featuring her work, her students, and a fantastic community of artists across Richmond, Kingston Borough, and Surrey. At each venue, she’ll be showcasing different original artworks and limited edition prints from her latest collections, so every visit offers something fresh and inspiring.
While you’re there, she warmly invite you to simply enjoy the art and the atmosphere — but if something speaks to you, you’re very welcome to make it yours or gift it to someone special. There’s something meaningful about owning an original piece or print directly from an artist, especially for a new home or a memorable occasion, and your support truly makes a difference.
Feel free to bring friends, family, and even little ones — everyone is welcome. And if you enjoy your visit, we’d love it if you shared the experience, invited others along, or even posted a photo (especially if you manage to take one with the artist together!).

Blooming Through Colour
Like the unfolding of an orchid, each artwork represents a moment of becoming—shaped by time, patience, and imagination. Together, the exhibition celebrates not only finished works, but the process of learning, experimenting, and blooming as artists.
This annual exhibition is both a celebration of Irina’s art club and an invitation into a welcoming creative community. Visitors are warmly invited to experience and collect original artworks, and to step into a creative community that continues to grow year after year. If you are interested in joining one of Irina’s art groups, please get in touch via email to learn more about classes held in various locations across the borough.

We are thrilled to announce that our exhibition was officially opened by the esteemed H.E. Mr. Tihomir Stoytchev, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Bulgaria and former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs in Bulgaria. We are deeply honored by his support and presence, marking this occasion as truly special. Having such a distinguished guest open our exhibition is a rare and significant honor.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone at the Bulgarian Embassy in London for their incredible support, and to all the guests who joined us for the opening event on Thursday, 4th July. Your presence made the day unforgettable!
The exhibition at The Winning Gallery, situated across the historic Hampton Court Palace, featured vibrant fine art paintings and exquisite wall wood decorations, as well as mirrors and furniture in Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo and Empire styles. These pieces are the remarkable creations of duo ProDan Tanev and Irina Taneva, father and daughter. Each piece is unique, offering an exclusive opportunity to experience art that is truly one-of-a-kind in an intimate and exclusive setting. Each artwork tells its own story, blending philosophy and creativity with artists’ shared values of connecting with nature, beauty, and harmony in our lives and surroundings.
The event provided an inspirational platform for networking and cultural experiences. Now, explore and delight in a selection of artwork available on our websites. Whether you’re looking to simply appreciate their beauty or to bring a piece home, these works are ready to inspire and captivate you.
Irina Taneva Iri IR
Irina Taneva is a Master’s-level Fine Art painter and fashion designer, educated at the University of the Arts, London, and the National Academy of Arts, Sofia. Now based in London, she creates work that reflects her deep interest in people, their emotions, and their journey of self-awareness.
Her favourite medium, oil on canvas, allows for intricate layering and bold textures, often applied with a palette knife. This slow and deliberate process mirrors the complexity of human feelings and thoughts, giving each piece depth and presence. Her portfolio spans realistic seascapes and landscapes, abstract floral compositions, and expressive portraits, as well as her latest explorations into abstract realism.
Irina’s paintings are known for their harmonious colours, rich textures, and emotive qualities—artworks that transform any space into a sanctuary of creativity and reflection. Highly collectable, her works can be found in private collections and museums worldwide.
On this website, you can explore and purchase both original paintings and limited edition Giclée prints, crafted with museum-quality technology to last for generations. Whether for your home, a thoughtful gift, or your personal collection, each piece is designed to bring warmth, inspiration, and timeless beauty.
Beyond her own practice, Irina shares her passion through workshops for both children and adults. These sessions offer a unique opportunity to learn directly from the artist, dive into the creative process, and explore your own artistic voice in an encouraging environment.
Spring Collection – Art to Brighten Your Home
To capture the spirit of spring, I’ve selected six of my most heartfelt paintings to create a very limited Spring Collection.
In rich, seasonal colours, these artworks are designed to brighten your home, uplift your spirit, or make a thoughtful gift for a friend. They’re also a stylish and memorable choice for colleagues who deserve something special.
✨ I’m offering these pieces as high-quality Giclée prints, created with the same museum-grade technology used by the V&A and The National Gallery. These archival prints, made with inks that last over 100 years, bring timeless beauty to any home at an accessible price.
Each original painting is beautifully framed in light wood (A3 size) and can be elegantly packaged for gifting. Perfect for modern interiors, these artworks bring colour, warmth, and inspiration to any space. The prints are not framed.
I’ve poured months of passion into these paintings, and I hope they bring you as much joy and comfort as they’ve brought me.
