Irene’s art is filled with hope and inspiration that encourages viewers to become aware of their feelings and beliefs, making space for their true self.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLiving in Asia for more than 20 years, explains some of Irene’s unique insights into our world.  She speaks the language of the West whilst simultaneously sensing the subtle unspoken energies of the East. Irene currently creates and lives with her two daughters on the beautiful ‘Island of Gods’, Bali, Indonesia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnique to Irene’s art is the mixing and matching of different styles, which at first glance may seem controversial. In her paintings, she loves to modify the acrylic paint into thicker applications, and to use a wide variety of hand torn paper patterns and old street posters. The subtle details and harmonious color combinations make her art nothing short of enticing to the viewer. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmongst her achievements, Irene is proud to have had one of her wildlife paintings signed by nature warrior and actor Leonardo DiCaprio. She consequently donated the signed canvas to a project raising funds to protect Asia’s Wildlife (2016). More recently, she was published in ‘100 Artists of the Future’, A Collector’s Edition curated by The Contemporary Art Curator Magazine (2019).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LagunaART.com Gallery \u0026 Studios","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30934510829633,"sku":"","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0008\/0219\/3473\/products\/Showing_up_-_130x120_cm.jpg?v=1571734190","url":"https:\/\/lagunaart-com.myshopify.com\/products\/showing-up-by-irene-hoff-mixed-media-on-canvas","provider":"LagunaART.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
