Ivan is unique for his talent ability to work independent on a high quality level and with grace in a vast spectrum of techniques and various mediums as if there is a whole team of different artists working separately with their own styles. But in the end it is still the same person-Ivan Bogoev. Now he has graduated as BA student in Animation Major and BA Graphics and Illustration Minor programs at NBU, Sofia.

Melding classical aesthetics with modern abstraction and post-modern concepts are his favourite combinations when building up sci-fi or fantasy illustration scene.
Ivan, like every self-determined and seriously working young artist, has his wish upon a shooting star. This dream is he as a graduate to start working in a creative team of concept artists, character designers and illustrators in the book publishing and movie industry.
