No, when you are being sarcastic, you at times are being ironic, but when you are being ironic, you are not necessarily being sarcastic. Also, irony isn't always used in sneering fashion, whereas sarcasm is. When you said you were being ironic with that statement, it could be taken (which is how I read it) that you think that the picture that we all think is ugly is actually a work of art to you. That is ironic, but not sarcastic. I'm not trying to be rude, or give you English lessons, I'm just explaining why I responded the way I did.
