Biography :
Jivko Stantchev Jeliazkhov, known as JIVKO, is a sculptor of Bulgarian origin, born in 1963 and naturalized French in 1996. After distinguished studies at the Academy of Arts in Sofia, then at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, and finally at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1990, the sculptor quickly began exhibiting his own creations. His works, inspired by mythology, animal sculpture, childhood memories, and everyday emotions, reveal a wide range of influences. Jivko’s prolific imagination gives rise to sculptures imbued with striking modernity, inviting us unmistakably to contemplation and reflection.
