Igor Kogan

I am an Arizona-based awards winning watercolor artist whose work is collected internationally, and has been shown in galleries and museums.
Arizona’s natural and cultural landscapes are not just subjects—they are collaborators in my work.
Watercolor is my chosen medium, its fluid nature allows me to translate emotion into form with spontaneity
and clarity. Each brushstroke is intuitive, capturing fleeting moments, and changing qualities of light.
