Irina is an art historian and experienced guide who brings warmth, clarity, and insight to every tour. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Hispanic Studies and a Master’s in Art History, and her professional path has taken her across Europe, where she has led travelers through museums, historic neighborhoods, and cultural landmarks with a storyteller’s flair and a deep academic foundation.

She also gained educational experience at one of the world’s leading museums, the Hermitage Museum, an opportunity that shaped her approach to interpretation and deepened her expertise in European art.

Alongside her work with Context, Irina is an active communicator of art and culture. She has developed and delivered popular online lectures, founded a series of well-loved art brunches that explore European art in a relaxed and welcoming format, and built a 20,000-strong audience on social media through her engaging posts on art and history. Her goal is always the same: to make art feel alive and relevant.
