Sophia Vari’s work is an investigation of form and balance, strongly influenced by Mayan, Egyptian, Olmec, and Cycladic traditions as well as Ancient and Baroque aesthetics.
Her artist name « Vari » draws on the name of the Greek village where her family house was. Specializing in bronze sculpture, she is also known for collages, oils, watercolours and gained widespread recognition for her stunning jewellery, or « wearable sculptures » that combine geometric lines and sensual curves in silver, gold and ebony.
