Ivan's work, characterised by its exploration of landscapes and natural materials, bridges the gap between the artist and the environment, creating a tangible nexus through which the viewer can engage with the essence of place. The use of found objects and natural pigments not only reinforces this connection but also elevates the sensory experience of his art. His commitment to documenting the flow of a river to the sea, through changing seasons and weather, underscores a profound engagement with the passage of time and the transformation of the landscape.
