IVAN MARKOVIC was born in Montreal, Quebec in 1970. At an early age, he showed a natural propensity for drawing. At 15 years of age, he went to Paris, France to attend the Fine Arts school Creatione et Future. This experience allowed him to become a better draftsman and encouraged him to take his first steps in the art of oil painting. In 1994, he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Concordia University in Montreal. During his undergraduate degree he developed an interest for Art History and life drawing. Currently, Ivan Markovic lives and works in Montreal. He creates paper sculptures of people who live on the fringes of society. In addition, he builds scale models of derelict homes that allude to our connection to the past. His work has been featured in exhibitions and fairs in Canada, the United States and Europe.
