Russian-Czech painter and book illustrator, Ivanov, was born in 1966 in Tyumen, Siberia, Russia. Since 1998 he has lived and worked in Prague, Czech republic. Ivanov's artworks are founded on dreams and of the unconscious. Ivanov's imagery is suffused with surrealistic poetry. Along with his oil paintings and watercolors, Eugene Ivanov has illustrated over 100 books. He has had numerous solo exhibitions and his works are collected internationally. In his art, the artist unites elements of the landscape realism, motifs of yards and back streets of the Prague´s Old Town, or the classical still-life with modern styles of the beginning of the 20th century - cubism, suprematism and expressionism.
