IVANEVID

"I paint my style because I find the landscape as the greatest artwork.

So probably 20 years ago, I wanted to paint realistic. But at what moment I decided to stop doing that because the landscape was already beautiful and a masterpiece for me. So I started to look at it more carefully, in little details. And I found everything is built in different scales, but in the same kind of formula. And this could be part of the Fibonacci formula, all that part that is just like a little cycle that is just going bigger and bigger and bigger or tiny.

So I found that in the nature.

So my work right now is more inspired in how I perceive that kind of growing on different scales in nature. And I translate it as the energy in motion.

Just to watch the sunset, the clouds, your coffee in the morning, how it's like turning into little tiny clouds that are disappearing in the air. And all that little stuff I really love to spend hours watching it. I'm trying to understand it.

One of my oldest memories is about watching the floor or a wall where the shadow of the trees was like moving in the surface. And I'm really obsessed with that. That is part of my main part of my inspiration." - IVANEVID
