ivan zema

My name is Ivan Zema, I am an artist and creative designer. I received a Bachelor’s Degree in graphic design at the Institute of Design. Since 2016 apart from developing my professional career I have taken part in art projects in Moscow: “Noise”, "Point and Line", "Don't Stand Like That – You Might Get Used To It", "Occupation Provocation", "The End Of An Era".  My art is focused on researching sexuality, body, acceptance of self and one's shapes and desires, as well as the concepts of masculinity and femininity. 

From 2018 I started travelling the world in order to broaden my horizons and learn how the subject of my research is represented in different countries. I had a project in the Netherlands called “Write about Love”, and an art installation at a music festival in Vietnam. Until now I have been to 13 countries, 50 cities. I believe it is important to be candid and open-minded, to know yourself and your body, to be brave in order to be able to love yourself to the fullest. After all, when we love ourselves, we are able to share this love with others.
