Ivan Durgutovski (1988) is a Macedonian graphic designer and visual artist. He is present in the art scene for about 10 years, and his creations are often expressed through poster design, photography/photomontage and video. In the field of graphic design, he is especially focused on typography and editorial design.

 

In 2010 he graduated from the EURM / Faculty of Art and Design, and in 2018 he obtained an MA degree in Graphic Design and Visual Communications, within the same institution, on the topic "Design of Magazines in the Digital Era: Design, Communication, Perception".

 

His views and criticisms are often transmitted as visually "loud" and explicit photographic self-portraits, because he thinks that the artist must be actively present, involved and above all, vigilant in the social sphere. An important part of his portfolio is realized through social media, creating a new form of artistic expression and exchange of experiences in the digital world.

 

Durgutovski acquired several awards and recognitions in the country and abroad. He has also realized several autonomous exhibitions and was part of multiple group exhibitions, trainings, study trips, public debates and presentations, etc.
