Biography

Zhivko Sedlarski (born 16 September 1958) is a Bulgarian-French sculptor who lives and works in France.

Sedlarski was born in Elhovo, Bulgaria. He was introduced to art at an early age by his father, the painter Kolyo Sedlarski.

He graduated from the National Academy of Arts in Sofia and subsequently undertook sculpture training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin.

Sedlarski's work includes monumental and small-scale sculpture. He is particularly associated with sculptural representations inspired by women's clothing and haute couture, often using metal and other rigid materials. Primavera, Galerie d’exposition du Théâtre Saint-Louis, Cholet, France
