Ivan Minkov

Hello! My name is Vanya, I was born in 2000 in Krasnodar, in the south of Russia.
In my work, I explore the themes of memory and dreams. Using the imagery of doves and women as central figures, I analyze personal events and dreams, capturing my current state of mind and translating it all into the physical plane. I believe that memories from the past are what shape who we are in the present.
However, memory is not a storage facility, like a library. Memory is a sub-personality that discards the unnecessary and refines recollections into an ideal form, leaving only the most desired fragments that form each individual's identity.
