Ivan Kostolov

“My artistic perception is primarily dedicated to the form – its diversity of perspectives, structure, splendor, eternity. I am therefore very stimulated by my personal observations of nature. For me, the form is like an infinite puzzle that I can explore from different points of view and rediscover and reassemble over and over again. In art the only thing that matters to me is the imperceptible.”
