Life and work

Dolz grew up in Barcelona, where her father had a booth at the flea market. In 1965 she moved to the Netherlands when her husband wanted to pursue a PhD in economics at the Tinbergen Institute. [2] Between 1967 and 1971 she studied at the Rotterdam Academy of Art, [3] where she was a lecturer herself from the 1980s.

As an artist Dotz mainly produced paintings, ceramics, glassware, rugs, which were often pictured in flamboyant colors form. Recurring themes (leitmotifs) in these works were birth, life, suffering and death. [2] Her work is found in the collections of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam and the Museum de Fundatie (Heino). There are sculptures by her in the center of Rotterdam, Rotterdam West, [4] [5] [6] Rotterdam North, Capelle aan den IJssel, Schiedam, Tiel and Groningen.

In 1988 Dotz received the Victorine Heftingprijs, and in January 2008 the municipality of Rotterdam awarded her the Wolfert van Borselen medal. She was awarded the Judith Leysterprize three times, the third time in 1992. [7]

Her daughter is the filmmaker Sonia Herman Dolz, who in 2005 made a movie portrait about her called Portrait of Dora Dolz. [8] [9]
