1957年出生于保加利亚切尔文布里亚格。他曾就读于索非亚美术学院并在壁画专业毕业。现居住并工作于索非亚。
内科·索拉科夫是一位保加利亚艺术家,他将传统教育与概念实践相结合,创造出复杂、多面且机智的作品。他是一位出色的讲故事者,展示了不可否认的诗意欲望,擅长短小叙事、格言、比较描述、文字游戏和语义双关,这些都是他艺术风格的特色元素。
在他广泛的素描、绘画、表演和装置艺术中,索拉科夫采用了讽刺、隐喻和多义的风格分析当代艺术系统中的角色和矛盾,以及与人类存在相关的集体“真相”和社会规范。
他的作品被以下公共和私人收藏:巴黎蓬皮杜中心;法兰克福现代艺术博物馆;伦敦泰特现代艺术馆;纽约现代艺术博物馆;苏黎世美术馆等收藏。

从不同的角度看世界
一位保加利亚艺术家,通过他的绘画、素描、水彩和装置讲述关于人类存在矛盾的故事。内科·索拉科夫将他传统的教育与概念实践相结合,创作出复杂、多面且机智的作品。1981年,他在保加利亚索非亚美术学院获得壁画专业学位。他是一位出色的讲故事者,展现出明显的诗意倾向,喜欢用短小的叙述、格言、比较描述、文字游戏和语义双关来表达,这些都是他风格的特点。
在他多种形式的绘画、表演和装置作品中,索拉科夫采用讽刺、隐喻和多义风格来分析现代艺术体系中的角色和矛盾,同时也分析与人类存在相关的集体“真理”和社会规范。他在装置、电影、摄影、绘画、素描和收藏等方面的创作实践中,艺术家的墙面书写是其重要的一部分,贡献了他分析和评论的风格。他在墙面或周围区域书写关于自己作品或其他艺术家的作品的文字,常常在装置作品或展览过程中添加这些墙面书写,以评论当下的环境、情感或艺术家所处的情绪。
2020年,他在法国穆琳的常青画廊举办了个人展览《大与小》,并在圣吉米那诺的常青画廊创建了展览《艺术家-收藏家的梦想(美好的事物)》。他还参加了以下展览:美国芝加哥当代艺术博物馆的《外星人与公民》,英国伦敦泰特现代美术馆的《表演者与参与者》,以及巴基斯坦拉合尔的《太阳与月亮之间。拉合尔双年展02》。在2019年,他参加了法国巴黎蓬皮杜中心的《Cosmopolis #2》。2018年,他在法国蒙彼利埃的La Panacée MoCo展出了《没有文字和墙面故事的画作》,2017年在圣吉米那诺的Galleria Continua展出了《色彩中的故事》,2016年在奥地利维也纳的Georg Kargl Fine Arts展出了《故事》。2007年,内科·索拉科夫获得第52届威尼斯双年展“中央国际展览中的艺术家荣誉提名”。
