Studio visit

Meet Karine Garzi

The most direct way to understand a sculptor's work is to stand in the room where it is made. Karine Garzi welcomes collectors, curators, journalists and serious enthusiasts to her atelier in Vallauris by appointment.

What a visit looks like

An hour or two in the studio: works in progress on the modelling stand, finished terracottas and bronzes around the room, a conversation about technique, subject and the history of the place. Coffee, never rushed.

Why come in person

Scale, weight, patina and surface only resolve in real space. A bronze that looks discreet on a screen often turns out to hold a room; a small terracotta can carry more presence than a much larger piece. Seeing them in the atelier — and beside one another — is the right way to choose.
