Monica Foglia

Born in Genoa, Monica Foglia lives and works in Monaco.

Specializing in the creation of exquisite, dreamlike sculptures, Monica Foglia produces unique pieces and large-scale editions in bronze and marble. Each work embodies her signature blend of elegance and artistic depth, marking her as an exceptional force in the world of art creation.

After working in her family's art gallery, where she had the opportunity to meet the major Italian and international artists, she has developed an artistic vision that leads her to explore human being's existential dimension, through sculpture.

Monica Foglia’s current collection explores the theme of lightness going beyond the physicality constraints and tells a dimension of the soul through the skillful use of shape and color. The sumo wrestler is seated. Concentrated and patient, he waits for the action to begin; his eyes are but a slanting slit above his cheeks.

His breathing is regular while his half-open lips let the breath flow in a fruitful exchange between inside and outside.
His body, powerful and opulent, finds a balance between the elements, while the material that composes it transcends itself to become light and become heaven. His person becomes the horizon capable of welcoming a swarm of colored butterflies that gently rest on him, suspended in the blue.
