Noa Geras
Noa Geras is an artist who explores the relationship between the mind, nature and technology. In her works and life, she contemplates identity and forms of violence, especially towards minorities and animals, while embedding them within historical narratives and her own personal history.
She was born in 1996 in Jerusalem and grew up in Zagreb, Croatia. She studied Painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice, Italy and holds an MA in Sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts, University of Zagreb, and an MA in Computational Arts from Goldsmiths, University of London. During her studies she was awarded the 1st prize at The International Competition of 20th Miniatures, Academic Council Award to the most successful graduates and a Rector’s Award.
She has received a full grant from ERSTE Foundation to attend The Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts and created public sculptures during the Svijetle pruge residency in Croatia. Her seven-metre Aurochs sculpture was exhibited at the 13th Triennial of Croatian Sculpture, at the Glyptotheque of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts.
