Kai-Mai Olbri<\/span> <\/b>(since 1989 real name Kai-Mai Kaarna, b. 5. V 1943) is an Estonian poet and artist. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOlbri was born in Tallinn. She graduated in 1971 from the Estonian State Institute of Art, specialising in metalworking, but she has gained fame as a painter. She has been a member of the Estonian Artists\u2019 Union since 1994, and the Painters\u2019 Union since 1998. From 1998 to 2004 she was Chair of the Association of Water-Colour Artists. She has been a member of the Writers\u2019 Union since 2005.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tShe has participated in many exhibitions with her work. She has had a number of personal exhibitions over the years at Estonia\u2019s best-known galleries and in Peru, Finland and Latvia. Her paintings are in private collections in more than twenty countries, as well as the Estonian National Museum of Art and the Arsenal Museum in Riga. Kai-Mai Olbri does not restrict herself to painting; rather, her creative nature is expressed in synthetic art forms. The openings of her exhibitions are performances of poetry, music and dance, in which she herself plays a key role. Olbri\u2019s artistic and literary work, full of colour and emotion, has been influenced by her interest in tango, South America and its culture.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tKai-Mai Olbri has made several films, both as producer and as screenplay author. The creative synthesis as a jewellery, costume and installation artist, poet, Hispanicist and set designer is evident in her video film Aheldatud laul <\/i>(\u2018The Shackled Song\u2019). In 2009 came the premiere of Kai-Mai Olbri\u2019s autobiographical film Vabadus algab seest <\/i>(\u2018Freedom Begins Within\u2019), in which the author analyses her own complex and varied creative nature, trying in the first place to work it out for herself.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOlbri\u2019s first two poetry collections were P\u00f6\u00f6rdumatud s\u00f5nad <\/i>(\u2018Irreversible Words\u2019, 1991) and \u00d5htune post <\/i>(\u2018Evening Post\u2019, 2005). Her poems have been called personal by the critics. Kai-Mai Olbri has also written poetry in Spanish. In her later work she has cultivated the haiku form extensively. She has written one play: Karje: stseenid elust <\/i>(\u2018The Scream: Scenes from a Life\u2019, 2006). In 2008 Olbri produced the travel book Inspireeriv Itaalia: reisikiri, novelletid <\/i>(\u2018Inspiring Italy: a Travelogue and Mini-Prose\u2019).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
