Born in 1970 to Croatian parents in Baltimore / USA, Igor spent his schooling in France and Germany, then studied in Geneva at Decorative Arts and the School of Fine Arts. He graduated in 1996 from the Défraoui workshop.
Coming from a family of painters, he questions reality through shapes and colours to reveal a deep meaning of our relationship with the world.
His works prove to trace past and present utopias, the contours of the contemporary unconscious, the silhouettes of modern psychoses, and the corpses of capitalist alienation. These temporal and psychological folds question the origin and future of the species and its place in the Anthropocene era.
The artist delivers here the result of the hybrid character of current generations, leading us into a sacred universe of the past, where the simplicity of forms is like a philosophical call to participate in the reconstruction of the world. His works seem to hold the breath of our souls.
His passions led him to engage in alternative venues for music and the arts. He notably co-led an association dedicated to North/South relations, focused on artistic exchanges between the West and West Africa. Igor works in Geneva, Switzerland, as an artist duo with his wife, Mael Denegri. This father is an art teacher in a school for migrants.
