Ira realized early on that his creativity and the emotions expressed in his art needed to be shared. With music as his inspiration, he self-taught himself to paint before enrolling in music and art school. His first, and favorite, painting was a replica of one of Ivan Shishkin’s famous landscapes.

Today, Ira works across many canvas mediums while pursuing his passions for sound engineering, music and animation. Combining them, he finds inspiration in the noise and dynamics of the world. His portraits are deep, detailed, and perfectly capture the subjects with his own unique slant.
