Igor Palkovic

I was born in 1957 in what is now called Croatia, a republic of the former
Yugoslavia. As a child I had the opportunity to travel around the world with
my family in many countries.

I have resided in Yugoslavia, Hungary, and Italy and in North America: New
York, New Jersey, Florida, Toronto, St. Catherine's and Vancouver. I now
reside on Bowen Island, near West Vancouver.

Needless to say with all my traveling, it is difficult to find where one's soul
belongs. With the experience gained from this journeying, I have learned to
view the world from a different perspective.

I believe that no matter how different everything appears, it is all the same.
All are different parts of the same puzzle.

Life is like an abstract painting. Different people can look at the same painting
and see and feel different images and emotions.

In my paintings, I try to combine different images and colours to show
that despite their uniqueness, they fit together as a whole.

That is my idea of abstract painting and of Life!
