About Me

Ivo Iliev Yeto

Born and raised in Sofia, Bulgaria. I began my artist journey with graffiti and comix art as a teenager. Currently I work in the fields of outdoor mural painting and fine art illustration and design. In my work I creates magical stories, in which nature, human and symbols interact in surreal situations, carrying a multi-layered meaning and reading.

“In my art I set questions whose answers may have existential significance or may not exist at all. Using simple and small symbols such as a feather, drapery, mirror, key, clock and other everyday objects woven into unusual natural compositions and plots I strive to connect the thin threads of spirit with intuition, mind, compassion, love, joy, the inexplicable complexity of our reality. Technical education has taught me that there is often more than one way to get there. That’s why I freely experiment with materials and techniques , as the main thing for me is the plot and the idea of the work. Although my main occupation is painting monumental murals, I have a great attraction to the intimacy of the small format, graphics and fast techniques.”
