About the artist

Grizi Paola

Italy

Paola Grizi, an Italian sculptor, grew up surrounded by art, influenced by a family of painters and ceramicists. Renowned for her terracotta and bronze sculptures, she creates faces that emerge from the pages of books, evoking mystery and emotion. Her skillful manipulation of materials transforms these literary-inspired works into dynamic architectural compositions, with delicate pages folding and flipping. With a background in Classics and Italian Literature, her passion for the written word seamlessly intertwines with her sculptural practice.
