Milos Sejn works in the fields of visual art, performance and study of visual perception, and conducts workshops, such as Bohemiae Rosa. His artistic concept was formed in his youth when he undertook many trips into the wilderness as a reflex of an inner need to get closer to nature's secret and observe the miracles, which happen in it. From the beginning of the 1960s he took pictures, drew, collected and described his observations of nature during these wanderings. Currently he teaches mixed media and the relationship of nature and art as intrinsic needs of the mind at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague, and focuses on immediate creative possibilities, based upon relations between historical humanized landscapes and intact nature.
Born 1947 in Jablonec nad Nisou , Czech Republic. Graduated 1975 (visual art - Doc. Z.Sýkora, theory of art and esthetic - prof. P.Wittlich, Charles University in Prague). Original member of Bohemiae Rosa Foundation (1994) for intermedial research of historical landscape, member of Hermit Foundation and Center for Metamedia in Closter Plasy National Monument http://www.hermit.cz, member of international travelling membership Qu'Es for research relations between body and landscape.
