Achievements | As a sculptor Ivan created various large scale works which are exhibited nationally and internationally.

It contained various ballet dancer sculptures based on Balanchine's choreography ‘Apollon musagète’. On ARTZUID 2021 Ivan has a solo exhibition at the Thomaskerk called ‘Origins’, a response to the story found within the architecture of this church: a brutalist masterpiece finalised in 1966 by architect Karel Sijmons, Ivan’s grandfather.
