Ivan Pavle (born March 8, 1955)[1] is a Slovak painter with a distinct style focusing on the human form.

[5][6] Pavle's art is characterized by figurative painting, nudes, torsos, and faces covered by masks.

[2][8] Another major and recurring theme in Pavle’s work is mythology, which is demonstrated in an ongoing cycle of paintings about Babylon,[9] as well as in other art pieces showing fictitious landscapes and mysterious characters with animal features.

It didn't matter whether the figures had a distinctly expressive or meditative character, they always had a strong expression with a thorough knowledge of anatomy.Pavle‘s works have been exhibited in Slovak and foreign galleries in Poland, Germany, Netherlands, Austria, France, Monaco, Italy, Thailand, and the USA.

Pavle attended numerous creative workshops, mainly in the United States and France, where he was awarded the Jury Prize at the International Festival of Painting in Cagnes sur Mer in 1989.
