Ian Bloom is an American artist.Working in concert with collectors, Bloom markets abstract and realistic paintings, alongside photographs, drawings, films, music, fashion, and literature. Born on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, Bloom is the only child of an interracial marriage. His mother, from Japan, worked within leading Japanese multinationals; his father, an American physician. They met in Mexico during graduate school, later moving to Washington, D.C., then New York, and finally Los Angeles. His Ashkenazi Jewish great-grandparents immigrated from Russia, Poland, and Germany; his grandparents and his father were born in New York. Raised off Mulholland Drive, Bloom vacationed between Japan and Europe. His travels through Italy, Switzerland, France, Monaco, Spain, England, Austria, and Vatican City shaped his global perspective and artistry. He studied art history and film at Columbia University at 16, followed by political theory and literature at UC Berkeley. By 23, he had completed dual degrees in accounting and marketing, and earned a master's in accounting from NYU Stern. Bloom continues to expand his portfolio with original vision and tactical execution - crafting a singular body of work across disciplines, rooted in sovereignty, symbolism, and aesthetic mastery.
