Ilya Zomb, 1960 | Magical realism painter

New York based Russian-born painter Ilya Zomb studied at the Odessa State Art College and the Odessa Art School between 1971 and 1979, majoring in fine arts.

In his paintings, images of ballerinas, elephants, and gigantic fruits appear as if out of a dream, but the artist says it's the everyday life in New York,where he lives, that inspires his flights of fancy.

Occupying the shadowy space "between the possible and impossible, the real and unreal", Ilya Zomb’s brilliantly conceived, chimerical paintings lie at the elusive intersection of reality and pure fantasy.
