Evi Ivan

Evi Ivan is a self-taught artist living in Bavaria.  She paints whatever appeals to her from landscapes to portraits but she has a particular interest in people who make music. 

Few Deep Purple fans have a skill that allows them to show their admiration and fascination for the band.  Most of us simply listen and watch passively. Not so Evi.  Since the age of 15 she has been a Deep Purple fan and uses her talent to capture the essence of each band member in watercolour. Her passion is evident from her paintings which capture movement and emotion in a way no photograph can,

Evi held an exhibition of her Deep Purple paintings in Cologne earlier in 2006 and Roger Glover visited the exhibition.

You can read about her also on the Kulturförderkreis K-8 e. V.  website.
