On June 3, 2020, I shared my very first attempt at oil painting on Twitter (now X). I didn't expect much from it, but the painting was reposted over 15,000 times. That unexpected encouragement gave me the confidence to keep creating, and just a few weeks later, on June 20, 2020, I started Irin S. Studio.

Looking back, it's amazing to think that everything began with something so simple.
