Ivan Horvat was born in 1964 in Slovenia, at that time still Yugoslavia. In his youth he drew and painted a great deal and occasionally wrote stories and poems. However, family and many other things then intervened, so that photography took a back seat. Four years ago his wife passed away and since then he has been filling this gap with his newly discovered and revived creativity
He is an exceptional artist whose work pushes the boundaries of reality and takes the viewer into a world of dreams and fantasies. His images have a unique quality that comes from his ability to create an emotional connection with the viewer using the camera as a tool.
He is not only concerned with the search for the perfect shot, but rather with the creation of images that inspire the viewer's imagination like a kind of painting. His work is shaped by a creative passion that drives him to tell stories and create moods.
A special feature of his work are his nude compositions, which he stages in a unique way. For Ivan, the naked body symbolizes authenticity, purity and naturalness. In his works he tries to understand "being human" and its existence and to put it into words and pictures.
Overall, Ivan is a talented artist who pushes the boundaries of photography with his unique images, taking us into a world full of emotions and dreams.
Searching for the essence of being, for himself, his style - a never-ending journey and the footprints he leaves are the images he creates!
