About Lotta Blokker
When Lotta Blokker (Amsterdam 1980) first encountered the work of the french sculptor Auguste Rodin, during a secondary school excursion to the Musée Rodin in Paris, Lotta Blokker felt that her destiny had been determined. 'This is it', she thought, looking at Rodin’s works. At the age of nineteen she travelled to Italy to study sculpture at the Florence Academy of Art.
Her talent was obvious and she started teaching even before she had graduated.
In 2006 she opened a studio in the center of Amsterdam where she developes her sensitive, figurative sculptures.
Her work is represented in various private and museum collections in Europe and the United States and is regularly exhibited internationally.
Filmmaker Frans Weisz followed Lotta during the creation of her sculpture group The Hour of the Wolf. The documentary The Wolfshour was broadcast in 2015 on Het Uur van de Wolf. Lotta bore the honorary title of Artist of the Year in 2022.
