Nóra Bézi






             Nóra Bézi was born in Budapest, Hungary, and
             currently lives in Spain. She graduated with a
             BA  in  Art  History  and  Aesthetics  at  Eötvös
             Loránd  University  in  Budapest  in  2014.  Her
             research  and  dissertation  work  explored  the
             influence of classical antiquity on 20th-century
             art.  Although  she  pursued  a  different  career
             path, art has remained an integral part of her
             life.  She  has  consistently  created  sculptures
             and paintings alongside her day job, with her
             focus  gradually  shifting  back  to  the  arts  in
             recent  years.  Through  her  sculptural  work,
             Nóra  reinterprets  the  female  form,  drawing
             inspiration  from  various  artistic  styles,  from
             Greek antiquity to the geometric abstractions
             of modernism. In her paintings, she alternates
             between abstract and figurative pieces.

             ‘’Art  has  always  been  an  important  part  of  my
             life,  from  studying  art  history  to  taking  drawing
             and  ceramic  classes.  My  primary  focus  is  the
             female  form,  both  in  ceramic  sculpture  and
             painting.  By  revisiting  different  artistic  styles,  I
             explore  the  various  lenses  through  which
             femininity has been viewed.
             My work blends abstract and figurative elements,
             combining  soft  and  angular  lines.  Each  piece  is
             intentionally  left  incomplete,  symbolizing  the
             fragility  of  the  human  experience  and  our
             universal longing for wholeness.
             Similarly  to  my  sculptures,  my  figurative
             paintings also focus on the female form and the
             use  of  negative  space,  or  a  ‘void’;  reflecting  the
             boundaries  of  presence  and  absence,  self  and
             ‘other’, and the conscious and subconscious.’’
