TETE a TETE, cast glass (1999) Sculpture by Zoja Trofimiuk

Zoja Trofimiuk was born Czech and comes from a Prague family that was a part of the high-standing cultural community. Her father socialized with many artists of his day, among them Professor Stanislav Libenský and Jaroslava Brychtová. But it was not until Zoja Trofimiuk emigrated with her husband and son to Australia that she became interested in glass studies, creating glass sculptures of her own.
In the 1970s, still a Czech citizen, she graduated from one of the best European university-type art institutes – the Academy of Fine Art in Cracow, Poland and gained a high-quality education as a sculptor, probably one of the best at that time in Europe.
