In the artist’s words:

Boré Ivanoff. Eastern European – born, contemporary, protean artist, based in Paris since 2001. Since 2012 he paints exclusively Paris. Parisian views, ‘jamais vu’ motives are his special feature, blurring the line between abstraction and realism. For Boré Paris it’s the kind of place that offers the right combination of inspiration and pain and suffering to keep him stimulated and painting. Independent and self-confident, with a remarkable ability to surprise and intrigue the viewer … he prefers the enigmatic, the unconventional, and the unexpected. His work is precise, yet it teeters on the threshold of delirium and chaos. He brings outrageous levels, of pictorial realization to his work. His compositions are a sophisticated exercise in the manipulation of form, keyed-up color, density, illusionism, brushwork, and compression. The interior and the exterior merge to produce a single image whose complexities are almost impossible to untangle. The result is which the abstract nearly trumps the real. Boré wants to see how far he can push reality to the other side where the “real” is still recognizable, but becoming totally abstract, building that tension until they are just one and the same.
