For her fourth exhibition at the MiniMasterpiece gallery, SOPHIA VARI has chosen to reveal a completely new set of 15 jewelry-sculptures made between 2020 and 2022 in the privacy of her studio. 

Allowing herself for the first time the use of natural materials – leather and cork – Sophia Vari worked in total freedom, without constraint of volume or weight. The result is breathtaking in strength, creativity and audacity. Inspired by ethnic sculptures and freed from more complex production constraints (mold, cast iron, cutting, etc.) which require numerous intermediate interventions, the artist was able to develop her imagination as she wished. Since her first tests in 2020 on corks from red wine bottles, the composition of jewelry has become more complex at the cost of demanding daily physical experimentation. In the end, a set of necklace, pendants, bracelet, rings and earrings of XXL size and unbridled sophistication.
Sophia Vari, free!
