Bio
I’m Valeria Greco, born and raised in Palagiano, in southern Italy (Puglia). After my early studies in painting at the "Calò" Art High School in Taranto, I felt a deep affinity and an irresistible pull toward clay and form.
Driven by the desire to explore sculpture in depth, I moved to Carrara — the historic cradle of traditional statuary techniques. There, I attended the Academy of Fine Arts, earning both my BA and MA degrees in Sculpture with top marks. In this quiet city, nestled between the sea and the mountains, I found the space to listen to myself and develop my artistic language.
Every sculptural material, every type of stone, is for me a discovery of new expressive potential.
During my academic years, I had two formative experiences abroad through the Erasmus program: in Poland (2015/16) and Japan (2017/18), where I studied sculpture for several months.
These periods, spent in culturally rich and unfamiliar contexts, played a crucial role in shaping both my artistic and personal growth.
