Ivan (b. 1994) is Abakan (South Siberia), Russia.
He began his carrier at the age of 15 in Sankt-Petersburg. From early age he developed passion for classical representational art.
Most of his time he dedicated to study principles of classical Russian painting in Imperial Academy of Arts which has unbroken tradition since 1757. In his studies, he focused not only on technical aspects of painting but also on philosophy. He aims for the balance between inner and outer beauty of human portrait.
His success comes from deep understanding of classical school of thought in painting and drawing. He strives to combine and overlap all his skills in order to achieve an accurate representation of human soul.
He likes to implement and play with contrasts in color, technique and ideas. Therefore, even in his large scale history paintings one must find clear messages of present issues in society.From 2009 till 2013 studied at the Academic Art Lyceum named after Johanson in Saint-Petersburg.
