Igor Bleischwitz

Igor Bleischwitz is a Berlin-based artist known for his multi-disciplinary approach, blending painting, ceramics, and textiles. His work often explores the tension between realism and abstraction, using a unique technique of layering and scraping paint to reveal hidden depths within his compositions. Inspired by historical and archeological references, Bleischwitz’s art delves into themes of memory, history, and the passage of time, encouraging viewers to uncover the narratives beneath the surface and contemplate the evolution of visual representation across different eras.
