Born in Siberia and raised between cultures, Ivan relocated to Germany at a young age, finding in art a medium to express what words could not. His early practice evolved from skateboarding, graffiti, and hip hop into a disciplined and expressive approach to painting.

Ivan Gette creates abstract paintings of rare intensity and refined elegance. Guided by his philosophy of “abstract nihilism,” he captures instinct and intention in their purest form. Each painting is unique, irreproducible, and crafted with a precision that reflects a life of global travel and extraordinary experience.

Ivan's work has been exhibited internationally, including Parallel Vienna and Art Miami during Art Basel, and is held in private collections across Germany, Spain, the United States, India, the Netherlands, Austria, Lithuania, the United Arab Emirates, France, and Monaco, including prominent and influential collectors.
