Nora Blazeviciute is a contemporary Lithuanian sculptor. The creative style of the artist was formulated in the end of seventies and eighties, when strict "uniform" stylistics dogma were changed by ideas of individualism. In the society the social optimism calmed down, and in the creative art through the strict official cordons there penetrated more ironical evaluation of the ideas declared.
One of the main motifs of her works are animals: hares, crows, chickens. All of them are subtly characterized and individual. The author's aim to create "warm" things makes animals and birds the humanized beings, full of erotic charm and hidden, only intuitively felt sexual energy. All of them, like people, have their personal characters and secret wishes. Blazeviciute tries to break the stereotypes of image, sometimes even to shock the spectator rejecting the beauty stereotypes existing in our culture.
Nora Blazeviciute was born in 1947 in Vilnius, Lithuania, where she graduated from the State Institute of Art. Since 1975 she has been a member of Lithuanian Artists' Association. She lives and works in Czechia.
