Tolla Inbar was born in Germany in 1958. She attended the
Merz school in Stuttgart until 1971, specializing in the Arts of ceramics and
sculpture.
Between 1977 and 1984 she studied at Bustan Institute and at Avni Institute
of Arts, where she worked in stone and wood with known Russian sculptors.
After these years of experiences and experiments of different materials,
her style has evolved from realistic and figurative to more expressive and
semi-abstract.
Since 1995 she has developed her style into a unique and naturalistic one,
combining wood, metal and bronze with different materials that permit her to
reach the rope
sculpture's idea. Tolla's conviction is that our world is composed mostly
of light and energy, so that theoretically the victory of energy (spirit) over
matter is only a
question of time. This sense of movement, which reflects tension and
balance, is present in her works.
Tolla's innovative works can be found in numerous private collections in
Germany, France, Israel and the United States.
