Orlin Ivanov - (B. 1977)

 

“Art gives me the freedom to discover new things and ways of creating, which can be only uncovered by exploring. I play with new shapes and materials and try to find the harmony in between. My artwork exemplifies the forces of nature over time and naturally occurring micro structures”

The delicate balance between texture, color and form of different types of wood and the combination of metal and stone makes the light paint a unique visual in his art.
