About the artwork Still Life

"Still life" is manifesting the primary characteristics of my artistic work: the love of nature and my affinity for late Renaissance and Baroque painting. I am coming across the subjects of my paintings in reality, just around me, every day. The plants that have always fascinated me are not only nature forms - perfect by design - but like any creation in the world around us, also equivalent with the message of growing and withering, the flowing time.

About the artist Ivan Iliev

"The primary aspects of my artistry are my deep love for nature and a strong connection to the late Renaissance and Baroque styles of painting. I encounter the subjects of my artwork in my everyday surroundings. The plants that have always intrigued me represent more than just their natural forms — they embody the ebb and flow of time, encompassing both growth and decay."

Born in 1951 in Burgas, Bulgaria, Ivan Iliev studied at the Art Academy in Sofia. Following his graduation, he served as an artistic editor-in-chief for several years. Since 1990, he has been living and working as an independent artist in Vienna, Austria, and has been featured in numerous international group and solo exhibitions.
