Sophia Vari, born in Greece, is both a painter and a sculptress whose heritage lies in her original Mediterranean culture. Having lived in Paris since the end of her adolescence, this artist is well acquainted with modern trends in sculpture and with those that identify with cubism and surrealism in particular. Her creative talent produces work that is full of sensuality, movement and intelligence and is remarkable also in that it is inspired by a wide variety of sources: sculpture from the Mayan, Egyptian, Olmec, and Cycladic traditions and from Greek antiquity to Baroque designers. As an accomplished sculptress, she is acutely aware of historical artistic tradition. Her sculpture, even in at its most abstract, is stamped with the obvious beauty of the human form. The artist asserts her desire: « To imbue shapes and colour, and even their very geometry, with human qualities, within a spatial context. » Her monumental sculptures feature in many large cities throughout the world: Paris, Athens, New York, Montreal, Munich, Miami, Caracas. Sophia Vari was extremely successful in 2004: Retrospective exhibitions at the Benaki Museum in Athens, at the Olympic Games and at the National Art Gallery in Malaysia. Her monumental sculptures were exhibited in the Piazza Esedra by the Rome city council. Spain will also hold exhibitions in 2005 in Grenada, Seville and Gerona. She lives and works not only in Paris but also in Italy, Mexico and New York. |
