Director Biography - Ivo Venkov
Ivo Venkov is an artist, filmmaker and musician. Putting his own “artspace continuum” theory to the test, he is the author of artworks in multiple media - from spatial to temporal arts, and in between.
Born in Sofia, Bulgaria, he relocated to the US in 1987. A few years later, he founded the multi disciplinary art collaborative PAAstudio in Santa Monica, CA. His works are present in museum and private collections, and PAAstudio has a number of national and international publications and awards.
Besides art, architecture and music, he has produced several animation shorts, including CLIMB (2022), SLIGHTLY SUPREMATIC (2020), DREAMER (2021) and FLUTTER (2017). He has written and directed the first two. Ivo was also the author and producer of the underground rock opera The Good Knight’s Sleep (1983) in his native country. He resides and works in Pacific Palisades, CA.
