Paola Grizi works with faces and emotions, developing sculptural forms in terracotta and bronze through a process that explores lightness, dynamism, and experimentation.

Her practice unfolds through gestures that create space for reflection, cultural dialogue, and transformative presence.

​​

Born in Italy, she trained in contemporary sculpture and has exibited across Europe, Asia, US and the UK.
