Silent Storms
Silent Storms
Silent Storms explores the turbulence hidden beneath a composed surface. A fragmented, mask-like face emerges from deep blue layers while koi and butterflies move through the surrounding darkness—symbols of endurance, change, and the fragile possibility of renewal.
The work began as a pencil drawing and grew through repeated layers of mixed media and gold leaf. I allowed the face, fish, and butterflies to surface gradually, creating a piece that feels both weathered and alive.

About the Artist
Rita Irvin is a self-taught mixed-media artist raised in West Berlin, Germany. Her paintings work through memory, emotion, and transformation, built in layered textures and imagery. Influenced by Dali, Frida Kahlo, and Georgia O'Keeffe, Rita developed her own visual language without formal training, shaped by years in interior design and a lifelong immersion in art and architecture. Every piece is a one-of-a-kind original, made by hand and never reproduced.
