Irina Yuryevna Soglachaeva was born in 1957 in Kostroma. She received professional training at the Department of Industrial Graphics and Advertising at the Ivanovo Art School. In 1978, she began working in art production workshops at the Union of Artists, and in 1982 she became a member of the organization.

Irina Soglachaeva actively participated in regional, all-Russian, and international exhibitions. Her talent manifested itself in many forms of art: graphic design, poster design, book and easel graphics.

A special part of her oeuvre is dedicated to unique industrial signs, emblems, designing brand identities, and posters. The latter required precision, conciseness, proficiency in the language of symbols, the ability to think in abstracts and outside the box. Working with printed graphics influenced her easel paintings, where she expressed her character and imagination, experiences and thoughts.

Irina Soglachaeva’s works can be found in the collections of the Kostroma Museum-Reserve, the Kostroma Municipal Art Gallery, the city gallery of Piotrków Trybunalski in Poland and the museum in Hyvinkää, Finland.

The art critic Alexander Ivanovich Buzin said:

The artist often created series of works. At the heart of the figurative structure of many of her works is a lively improvisation with color, shape, and texture — those special artistic techniques that make up the artist’s language, make the works always distinctly hers.
