For as long as he can remember he has painted and studied the history of art, traveling to museums, looking at masterpieces, and gathering inspiration from the geniuses of the past and present.
Igor was heavily influenced by the dreamy realism of the outstanding American artist Andrew Wyeth and drawn to detailing of early Flemish Art.
Igor is guilty of bouncing from realism to surrealism, to hyper-photo realism simply because he still enjoys the art process itself and is happy to be an artist.
