Biography
Viive Noor (1955) is an illustrator and curator. She works as a curator at the Estonian Children's Literature Centre. Noor is the founder and organiser of the Tallinn Illustrations Triennial “The Power of Pictures” (2003, 2006, 2009, 2013, 2017, 2020, 2023). She graduated cum laude in fashion design and graphic art from the State Art Institute of the Estonian SSR (Estonian Academy of Arts) in 1981. Noor is the Vice President of the Estonian Section of IBBY and a member of the Estonian Artists' Association, Estonian Graphic Designers’ Association (Head of Book Design Section), Associazione Italia Estonia, International Laboratory of Art, and Mega Art in Italy. Her works are held in the art collections of the National Library of Estonia, the Estonian Children’s Literature Centre, the Hiroko Mori & Stasys Museum in Japan, and the Marstal Maritime Museum in Denmark, as well as in many private collections in Estonia, Japan, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Germany, Russia etc.
I certainly drew a lot as a child, but I was convinced I’d become an explorer. I read books about travels, expeditions, and nature. Back then, I knew many of the Latin names for animal and plant species by heart. While studying in an art-intensive school, I started going to art exhibitions and before I knew it, I’d enrolled in the Estonian Academy of Arts. I still love nature to this day, but can’t imagine life without art. I have a deep fondness for books and illustration, but the world of art is boundless and the explorer in me lives on.
