Papier-mâché: Create imaginative characters with recycled materials

Sofía Sarria is a Venetian artist and artisan specializing in contemporary papier-mâché, co-funder of Atelier Volante. From his taller in Venice he reinterprets a historical tradition linked to masks and decorative sculpture, transforming it into a language precisely where volume, illustration and visual narrative intertwine with technical precision and poetic sensitivity.

The work is characterized by characters of fantastic inspiration, meticulous attention to detail and the conscious use of simple and sustainable materials. Through manual processes and careful production, Sofía highlights the value of time, craftsmanship and imagination as a form of creative resistance in the face of the accelerated production of the contemporary world.
