Ian Shevack

I am a Berlin-based abstract painter, and my work explores the tension between control and surrender, permanence and change.

Working with ink, raw canvas, and layered pigments, I embrace spontaneity and impermanence, allowing the materials to guide each composition. What emerges is a visual record of fleeting thoughts and instinctive decisions, where every fold, drip, and mark captures a dialogue between intention and accident.

My evolving body of work reflects a deep interest in the human condition, memory, and transformation. Often, my paintings mirror natural phenomena and internal states. Each piece is both a finished object and a trace of its own becoming, rooted in process and presence.
