Overview: Ivanco A. Talevski

The images I create are echoes of memories, psychological states, moments of awareness.

I am trying to capture moments of experience I have had standing in front of icons in Macedonia; I try to recreate a feeling of dialogue.  I have to build something new to carry those experiences with me, I cannot recreate the icons, but I try to create something that embodies that world for me, to make faces that can speak to me of my private history and my present reality.

I would like to make images that can function as personal altars, standing in for a world that is not accessible, and allowing me a way to enter into some kind of relationship with it.
