Synopsis
Innovative and unclassifiable are terms that could be used to describe the work of Sophia Vari, a Greek artist who has an outstanding place in the modern classical sculpture arena. A perpetual scholar and researcher, Vari has never ceased to evolve throughout the years—moving from paintings to three-dimensional sculpture in bronze, then in marble. From the sensuality and voluptuousness of her first statuettes, she evolved into abstract shapes of colossal scale. This monograph reveals the trajectory of an artist who embodies influences of old and new masters, as well as the vestiges of far away cultures.

Auch geeignet für Leser mit geringen spanischen Sprachkenntnissen, da eher wenige Textpassagen. - Innovadora e inclasificable son los términos que podrían definir la obra de la artista griega Sophia Vari dentro del mundo de la moderna escultura clásica, en donde hoy ocupa lugar destacado. Artista de imaginación fecunda, dada al estudio permanente y la investigación, su obra no ha cesado de transformarse a lo largo de los años. Inicialmente pintora, se lanza al trabajo tridimensional primero con el bronce y luego con el mármol. En años recientes se ha involucrado también en el diseño de joyas en materiales preciosos y semipreciosos. Del carácter sensual y voluptuoso de sus primeras esculturas, pasa a la creación de formas abstractas que denotan un conocimiento penetrante del gesto humano, y al descubrimiento de los poderosos efectos de sus formas clásicas en la escala monumental. Este libro recorre las sucesivas etapas de su evolución, mostrando la afortunada trayectoria de una obra que funde, dentro de un elegante eclecticismo, influencias de nuevos y viejos maestros y vestigios de antiguas y remotas culturas.
