about iwan

Iwan takes a photo about every piece of food and drink he consumes – as a thanksgiving ritual – since 2006, through his remaining Lifetime. He does it for all the people, who cannot do the same, because of the lack of camera, or ..FOOD. And for all the others, just to let them contemplating about real values in Life. Read more about this project (Thank You For My Daily Food project).

Iwan is a hungarian artist, living and working in Budapest. He definitely treats his own Life as a time-canvas, which can be populated with Art through several life-styles and rules he sets up for himself time-by-time.

Iwan graduated in 2010. at Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, at visual communication department as a media-design artist.

A few things that describes iwanwilaga (2011.)

Iwan constantly tries to Live by celebrating and respecting all the happenings in Life (yes, not only food;), and trying to keep himself as much open-minded as possible. Iwan learnt from fabulous Raghava KK, indian artist, that we can “reborn” in one life multiple times.  Learnt a lot from Gary Vaynerchuck on only dealing with things which you really love (to do). With obsession. Learnt from many inspiring people that the best and only drug is FLOW (thanks, Mihály Csíkszentmihályi). Being opened for new people, new places (Couchsurfing), new skills, new ideas, ingenious thoughts (TED.com) to make the world a better place. Learnt from Francis of Assisi, Gandhi, Pope John Paul II, and some others, that not only the bad guys who rocks. Learnt from the native americans, the japanese people, Andy Goldsworthy, Richard Long,  and some others and by doing full day “performance-hikings” that to live WITH and IN the nature, and treat it (or he or she;) as an equal partner is not only a good deal to survive, but the only option. Learnt from Leonardo da Vinci and the renaissance, that a human being can deal with multiple disciplines / fields of life, maybe in the speeded-up XXI.century as well. They motiwated iwan to try it, and iwan is so thankful towards them for this passion.
