Kadi Hektor´s work is characterized by a strong artistic approach – it is a mixture of natural objects that she has seen around her. Interpreting these objects in her own way,  her´s artistic style is balancing between abstract and figurative, functional and decorative.

Kadi describes her creative process as follows: " Nature fascinates and inspires me the most – nature, which has created so many charmingly bizarre forms, structures, textures, and systems. I prefer to observe and examine nature at close range, and if it is possible, on the inside too. I'm not trying to copy nature; instead I let my subconscious impressions synthesize them. Only then will I turn to design and create my own organic sculptures."

Kadi Hektor was born in Estonia, on 1976 and studied at the Estonian Academy of Arts (1998-2002).
