Ionel Talpazan

Ionel Talpazan is the subject of a book by the distinguished author Daniel Wojcik, Associate Professor of English and Folklore Studies at the University of Oregon: 'Mysterious Technology: Flying Saucers and the Visionary Art of Ionel Talpazan', projected publication date late 2003.

This book explores the art and life of this important self-taught visionary artist, who has created more than one thousand works of art inspired by his often traumatic and transformative experiences.

One childhood incident, where an encounter with a swirling blue energy seems to have been the trigger for his lifelong fascination with UFO's. Ionel considers these works (paintings, drawings and sculpture) to have a scientific as well as artistic value; his ultimate goal is to reveal to the world the mysterious technology and hidden meaning of UFOs.

Ionel Talpazan's work is represented in several museum collections and has been included in a number of exhibitions at the American Visionary Art Museum, Baltimore. He has appeared in the New York Times, Wired Magazine, US News & World Report and on CNN. Some of his images were also used in the sci-fi film K-Pax, starring Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges.
