IVANA STEFANOVA

#ARTIST064 | BULGARIAN

Ivana Stefanova is a Bulgarian creative designer/artist based in Sheffield, United Kingdom. Ivana draws and paints mainly character-driven pieces with particular focus on ambiguous and raw expressions that hint emotions such as desire, hope and melancholy.

She intends to represent these feelings but stay away from showing the story of the character. The viewers build the narrative themselves. In this way, the painting or drawing is only the first sentence of the story, the protagonist, the feeling, the question. And Ivana, is therefore the quiet mediator between a face and the onlooker. She subconsciously packs and paints raw feelings, giving the observer the opportunity to feel and wonder. Therefore, the artwork is merely about the character but the feelings it stirs.

Ivana’s work has always been inspired by graphic design’s bold colours and photography’s images - frozen forever but every time you look at them - different. Her process involves a lot of layering and/or sculpting mostly rendered faces.  A style that is becoming unique to Ivana and one becoming more and more renown in the world of digital art.
