Inger Jirby
my land of enchantment
Inger Jirby’s life has been as rich, dramatic and exotic as her art. She was born in the far
north of Sweden, above the Arctic Circle in Lapland, a place of blazing color in the fall.
Her earliest memories are bathed in a bright palette, the same colors that
characterize her passion-filled fauvist paintings. She began painting as a young girl and
never stopped. Her first hero was Van Gogh, followed by the big colorists, Matisse and
Bonnard. Later influences included Picasso, Braque, Andre Derain, Milton Avery,
The Fauves and the Abstract Expressionist artists who pioneered
the emotional and spiritual power of color.
