Igor Navrotskyi was born in Nitra (SK) in 1971 and studied at the National Academy of Fine Arts and Architecture in Kiev from 1992 to 1998, where he met and came to appreciate Tatiana Siedlova. The two belong to that rare species of classical artist couples who manage to positively "cross-fertilize" each other in their artistic work and continuously develop it further. In addition, they plan and organize all management-related agendas and profit sustainably from this symbiosis. The fusion of tradition and modernity became the unmistakable artistic expression of the two.
