About<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Glass in my works signifies the world between opaque and translucent, visible and invisible, material and immaterial, real and unreal. It is a world of shady shapes, exciting and elusive.<\/span><\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”35″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]I studied glass art in Estonian Academy of Arts in 1990\u20131996. I have been working for the Department of Glass Art at the Estonian Academy of Arts as a teacher and technician, from 2003 to 2017 as an associate professor. I have taken part in several exhibitions, conferences, symposiums and workshops since 1994 both in Estonia and abroad. I have earned attention at several international contests of glass art. My works are owned by several institutions and collectors. I also received the honourable nomination for the title of \u201cRecognized Glass Artist of Estonia 2004-2005\u201d, \u201cRecognized Glass Artist of Estonia 2018-2019\u201d\u00a0and the annual Kristjan Raud Prize on 2007 and on 2023. Today I work as a freelancer and share the studio with colleagues at Klaasiklubi (Glass Club) in Tallinn.<\/p>\n

\u201eTiina Sarapu is a glass artist who uses glass as a material for sculpural and installative work, on a conceptual level as a step between visible and invisible worlds. The starting point for her work is often sheet glass, which by seemingly simple bending is transformed into sculptural object. Edges and surfaces, self-sufficient, yet depending of each other, create an intricate multi-layered reality. In Sarapu\u2019s work spatial layers of glass are often metaphorically perceivable as layers of time.\u201d (M. Lobjakas)<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tiina Sarapu \u2013 glass artist with a bold vision, her installations and sculptures place glass in the role of clearly organised space or emptiness, not merely reducing it to its material characteristics.
