Ana Lazovsky - Biography

Ana Lazovsky - Flute Player

                         Ana was born in Uruguay to a family of immigrants who arrived in South America just before World War II from Poland. She emigrated to Israel in 1962. There she attended the Arts and Crafts school and specialized in ceramics. Soon she realized her real gift was sculpture, and ceramics was her first medium. But life made her seek a reliable and profitable income, so she turned her talents to textile design and created and directed a studio which provided printing firms with designs and printing cliches. So sculpture was a leisure time hobby for long years. In the meantime Ana attended ceramic sculpture workshops at Shfaim, which is close to her home in Bnei Zion, a charming village some 20 miles north of Tel Aviv. Some four years ago she closed her textile design studio, and decided to pursue her lifelong love, sculpture.

 

For the last six years she is fully dedicated to art. At first it was naturally all ceramics sculpture. Then she started exhibiting and getting very favorable responses from the public, who relished her work, bought, and encouraged her to go on to other media so it was only natural to take it one step further, to bronze. Since then she has participated in several exhibits, solo and group in Israel and abroad, and for the last four years she has been doing mainly bronzes. She has exhibited three times already at the New York Artexpo show, Art Miami, Art Philadelphia, and several International Art Fairs in Spain.

Ana's sculptures are part of many private collections all around the globe, as well as being shown in several galleries in the USA, Israel, France, South Korea and Spain.
 

Ana's main motive is humanity. Her main concern in doing her sculptures is for them to convey her feelings to the public and indeed her pieces do express warmth, sensuality, sensitivity, joy of life, love, togetherness, tenderness, strength and motion. Her lines are clean, the curves harmonious and her born sense of the third dimension and proportion makes her pieces achieve a unique perfection out of carefully planned distortions. Her women are usually big based, even exagerated and somehow, this bigness, unlike our model's oriented real life ideal, only adds to their beauty and femininity.

Her abstract pieces are a natural continuation of her flowing lines, with a dash of influence of the last century's Art Nouveau style, which she admires.

She casts her bronzes at a foundry near her home, which uses the lost wax method. She follows the whole process very closely, doing the finishing of the wax models by herself, and carefully supervising the polishing and finishing of her sculptures, up to the very special patinas she chooses. Ana is a perfectionist and each one of her pieces shows it
