Человек в шляпе (2021) Painting by Ilia Ivanov

My name is Ilya Alexandrovich Ivanov. I was born in 1973 on December 10, in the USSR in the city of Kuibyshev, now it is the city of Samara. Graduated from high school, then college. Further service in the Army and work on the railway. Meetings with the most interesting people along the entire path of life until now helped to gradually determine the further direction of activity. The craving for painting, which was passed on from my grandfather through my mother as a child, nevertheless evidently manifested itself in me and found embodiment through many years of troubles that had taken place earlier in our country. Now I live, work and do what I love.

Now my paintings are participating in exhibitions, they are bought with pleasure in Russia and America. In our turbulent time, people need calm stories depicting nature and love, relaxation with loved ones and just beauty. Maybe this direction in painting is not very fashionable due to modern trends, but such painting warms and heals the soul, and does not just evoke emotions or drive. I wish you all the best of love and happiness.
