Ivo studied Mural Painting in the Academy of Fine Arts in Sofia, Bulgaria. He has exhibited widely in museums and commercial galleries across Europe and North America and is the recipient of numerous prestigious grants and mural commissions.
His paintings are meditative works, created through the layers of various colors and textures - like the layers of leaves on a woodland floor, each leaf adding a new level to my understanding of nature.
Overall, Ivo’s goal is to somehow capture the fragility and beauty of natural forms and attempt to reclaim the experience of the outdoors in his Toronto studio.
