Visual Artist

Ivan focuses on mostly pencil and paper portraits, though they also experiment with other mediums.

From pencil portraits to digital experiments, these pieces are a reflection of their artistic passion. They aspire to become a tattoo artist after finishing college at the Cleveland Institute of Art.

About the Work

Ivan expresses themselves through their art; whether it's a portrait capturing emotion, or a simple doodle of their character, Gunther, these creations always reflect what they felt in the moment.

In the Studio

Origins

Grew up in an artistic family in Strongsville, Ohio. Early exposure to various art forms fostered a deep appreciation for all things creative.

Materials

Everything begins with graphite, though they may expand as they continue exploring each piece.

Recent Moments

Recently has been experimenting with ink in skin, aka tattooing, specifically handpoking small pieces onto fake skin.
