За Мен
Иво Илиев Yeto
Роден и израснал в София, България. Започнах пътя си на художник с графити и комикс изкуство като тийнейджър. В момента работя в областта на стенописите на открито и илюстрацията и дизайна на изобразително изкуство. В творбите си създавам магически истории, в които природата, човекът и символите си взаимодействат в сюрреалистични ситуации, носещи многопластов смисъл и прочит.
„В изкуството си поставям въпроси, чиито отговори могат да имат екзистенциално значение или пък изобщо да не съществуват. Използвайки обикновени и мънички символи като перо, драперия, огледало, ключ, часовник и други предмети от ежедневието, вплетени в необичайни природни композиции и сюжети, се стремя да свържа тънките нишки на духа с интуицията, разума, състраданието, любовта, радостта, необяснимата сложност на нашата реалност. Техническото образование ме е научило, че често има повече от един начин да се стигне до целта. Ето защо свободно експериментирам с материали и техники , тъй като основното за мен е сюжетът и идеята на творбата. Въпреки че основното ми занимание е да рисувам монументални стенописи, имам голямо влечение към интимността на малкия формат, графиката и бързите техники.“
