Nationality: Bulgaria
Jivko Sedlarski was born in Bulgaria in 1958. His father was a painter who fostered his interest in art at a very young age. After developing solid basic skills at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sofia, Jivko Sedlarski learned to appreciate the human body, skeletal muscles and related tissue structures. He dreamed of living in France. In 1991, Jivko Sedlarski went to France and settled in Brittany. As a free artist, he is an artist who creates through free self-expression. His sculptures are constantly evolving in form and accumulating energy.
Judging from some of the controversies about him and the diversity of his materials, his art is complete and diverse. Many of his works are around us. These works are full of vitality, can be integrated into any environment, and are regarded as natural elements.
Jivko Sedlarski perfectly interprets the advanced welding of dresses using metal materials. His works are exhibited all over the world and he cooperates with many high-end brands.
At the International Design Invitational Exhibition of the Biennale, 17 sculptures made of various metals and many manuscripts will light up the center of Suzhou. These elegant and delicate works, mostly handmade by Jivko Sedlarski, inspire the viewer in different ways. The viewer can feel a strong impact in touch, smell and sound. We touch the silky material and enter the world of women, which evokes the viewer's desire with glittering and fragrant dresses. It is not difficult to imagine that the air is filled with the sweet smell left by these female sculptures, a mixture of air, earth and flowers, or the famous Bulgarian rose. Jivko Sedlarski, who comes from Bulgaria, has expressed his love for this country bit by bit in his sculptures without reservation.
In this series of female sculptures, the artist is the material sum of the poet. He likes to create pure elements and present them in space. His works are very direct and express our impression of women and how we feel when we see beautiful and joyful women. The ideal woman, dressed like a gorgeous armor or a lightly welded hollow dress, attracts us to the charming and dazzling fashion world.
