Lola Jiblazee "untitled"

Lola Jiblazee (b. 1985) is a New York based multidisciplinary artist. Born and raised in Tbilisi, Georgia, where circumstances marked a lack of basic human necessities, Lola took to art in isolation. Drawing inspiration from her experiences where life revolved around religion, politics and complex family dynamics. Upon immigrating to NYC in their early 20s lola held onto their intrigue for Christian Iconography and perception surrounding  identity, hope, life and death. Within this intrigue, Lola began questioning their roots and coming to terms that what is taught isn’t always what is real. With a hunger for understanding the truth lola received an ASD diagnosis at 37. A revelation that deepened Lola’s artistic practice and expanded their creative vision.

“We must resist the forces that seek to roll back the progress we have yet to fully achieve. Instead of advancing, we find ourselves facing a political climate intent on undoing the hard-won rights and freedoms many have fought for. This serves as a reminder of the need for solidarity and action in the face of these challenges. This work critiques the present while offering a vision for the future—a call to defend justice, dignity, and equality for every individual.” - Lola Jiblazee
