Based in Michigan, Iven has been painting professionally since the age of 19. Studying various forms of art, such as music, fashion, and film, he portrays his ideas onto whatever is nearest by. Having a unique portfolio, ranging from designing numerous pieces of furniture to creating works that are up to 20 feet tall, he sees the world as his canvas. With an open mind, Iven encourages people to view his works from their own experiences and take their own meanings. He believes that everyone is different and that is what makes us special.
