Ivo Dimchev is a Bulgarian artist, born in 1976 in Sofia, who lives mostly outside the country.

​

In 1997, he was admitted to an acting major in the class of Professor Krikor Azarian, but left the theater and cinema academy the very next year. His works are an extreme and colorful mixture of performance, dance, theater, music, and photography. He is the author of more than 30 performances and has been awarded numerous international awards for dance and theater in Europe, North and South America, and Asia.

​

Ivo Dimchev started painting spontaneously, inspired by 3 large cardboard boxes thrown in front of a fruit and vegetable stand in Brussels. He collected them from the street and an hour later his first 3 paintings were born on the floor of his room.

​

He paints and sculpts impulsively, defines it as "a sexual act with the canvas, the object or the paint”, and does not use brushes - he paints with his bare hands and acrylic paints. He does not keep all of his works and some of them he destroys or transforms into new ones.
