Van Hovak In The Studio
I'm deeply interested in man's journey through life, and how these manifests in my art. I'm influenced by the layers and parallels in our physical and spiritual lives, and I strive to create art that harnesses our collective power and resonates with each individual. My works show the complexity of today's Man, full of opposing aspirations, secrets, and mysteries.
