Iva Zimova

Iva ZimovaIva Zímová was born in former Czech-oslovakia. She graduated from the School of Industrial Art in Jablonec nad Nisou, Specialization jewelry (1977). In 1982 she immigrated to Can-ada where she studied at the Dawson College - Institute of Photography (1987-1990) and then she continued her study at the Concordia University - major photography (1990-1993).

Iva lives for her photography and uses her manifest talent in the service of the persecuted and the forgotten: In-dians, gypsies, refugees, orphans, and the deeply impoverished. Her camera does not condescend to pity her sub-jects; it humanizes their plight and ennobles them as survivors that few will ever know.Iva is represented by Panos Pictures.
