Vasile Ivanov was born in Iasia Romania and came to Canada in 2001. He is a skilled tile layer and his work can be appreciated in hundred's of homes designed and built in Nova Scotia since the establishment of his business in 2005. With great precision and an attention to detail, Vasile is able to create patterns and structures that not only are functional but works of art in and of themselves. It was with a sense of curiosity and intrigue that Vasile discovered his ability to paint. One late night, in attempt to impress his wife, Vasile set a canvas on a music stand and took oil to canvas. Since that time he continues to impress his wife and many others with his natural talent. Vasile's understanding of light, perspective and beauty are reflected in his landscapes, florals, portraiture and still life paintings. It is with confidence and unapologetic brush strokes that Vasile has created a personal style. His paintings, much like his personality, are engaging, dramatic, charismatic and unapologetic.
