Reflections of the Passing Day | Classic Car, Chrome Mirror Glow & Big Sky 

This artwork captures that perfect moment when time seems to pause — the golden hour glows on polished chrome, the clouds drift lazily overhead, and a classic car becomes a mirror for the entire world around it. The artist turns a vintage automobile into a living storyteller, reflecting the sky, the fields, and the quiet rhythm of the passing day. The warm orange bodywork radiates sunlight, while the deep blue sky above stretches endlessly, creating a powerful sense of freedom and open space.

There's a nostalgic beauty here — the kind that brings back memories of long road trips, summer afternoons, and the calm that comes from simply being present. The chrome bumper is especially mesmerizing, acting like a portal that captures not only the landscape, but the mood, the atmosphere, and the fleeting magic of the moment. This artwork feels like a breath of fresh air, making it a perfect fit for anyone who loves vintage aesthetics, big skies, and reflections that hold hidden stories.

Ivan Vangar, Reflections of the Passing Day
United States  • 1983

Presentation

Vangar (Ivan, b. 1983, Nizhnevartovsk) is a contemporary artist whose practice bridges the worlds of engineering, aesthetics, and fine art. Trained in jewelry craftsmanship and environmental design at the Demidov Academy of Arts, he brings a meticulous attention to detail and a deep understanding of form and space into his painting practice.

Fascinated since childhood by the beauty of automotive design, Ivan creates works that merge technical precision with artistic emotion. His paintings are not simple depictions of cars but visual dialogues with these mechanical icons — an exploration of their elegance, individuality, and the invisible energy that makes them timeless. Working in oil and mixed media, he renders the gleam of chrome, the curve of bodywork, and the spirit of speed with painstaking care, inviting viewers to see vehicles as moving sculptures and cultural artifacts.

Since 2022, Vangar has exhibited widely in Russia and abroad, with recent highlights including and at CONTRAST Gallery (Yekaterinburg), and (Yekaterinburg), (Greenwich), at Artspace International Exhibition Center (Moscow), and international group shows in Ankara (Canvas Gallery) and New Delhi (Festival “Word about the Russian Heart"). He has also held solo exhibitions at the UMMC Retro Museum in Pyshma and the ETS Classic Cars Museum in Yekaterinburg, where his paintings were presented alongside rare collectible automobiles.

In 2024, he became a member of the Union of Artists of Russia. Today, based in Yekaterinburg, Vangar continues to develop his distinctive artistic vision — transforming metal, motion, and memory into vibrant canvases that celebrate both engineering mastery and human imagination.
