Ivo Dialupo (b. 1997) is expressing himself at the moment mostly with drawings and paintings.
” I draw what I can’t say in words, it flows out / empties emotions or what u want to call it. My aim is atmospheric insides of that which stays hidden but is omnipresent- do you know what I mean? “

I drew from the age of 9 years regularly and tried myself out in different materials throughout my life. During the time at drama school I got into drawing with edding and thicker pens and realised my passion for this kind of drawing. Black pen on paper I loves until this day. Since last year I combine spray, paint and pens more often. The aim is to find the right expression for the things I struggle sometimes to find the words.
