Ivan Mitrevski

Ivan Mitrevski (1979) is an illustrator, comics artist, and writer. He mostly creates works for children and young adults. As an illustrator, he has collaborated with numerous established Slovenian authors, and has in recent years written and illustrated several works of his own. His illustrations are a recognizable fixture of children’s and young adult magazines, and can also be found in textbooks, tourist guides, advertisements, and posters. There is an abundance of humour in his illustrations, which sometimes leads him to the bizarre and the absurd. Although he is committed to art for children, he likes to tackle pressing social topics in his books, such as environmental degradation (Bella the Wolf and the Magic Forest, 2020), fear (Who’s Afraid of Dentists?, 2020), or the contrast between private transport and public space (Fleatown, 2021). Many of his works have received the Golden Pear Rating. The comic book Bella the Wolf and the Magic Forest was nominated for a Zlatirepec Award in the Best Original Children’s Comic category.
