"All philosophy is like a tree whose roots are metaphysics, the trunk is physics, and the branches that sprout from the trunk are the sciences"
(Descartes - Philosophical Principles)

 

Jivko Sedlarski is a Bulgarian-born artist, world-renowned. Sculptor, Painter and Draftsman.His art is complete and plural, both from the point of view of the arguments, both by the variety of materials used by him. His many works are in our midst. They are alive and able to integrate into any environment and be perceived as any natural element. This shows that his work is perfectly in step with the times. There is no better word to understand the essence of that alleged by Vincent Nach: "Art for everyone and everywhere", in absolute harmony with the dictates laid down by the innovative art of the European Council 2007. It is therefore the 'universal art.
