Together with his wife, the Greek artist also Sophia VariBotero enjoyed a beautiful and typical Tuscan House. Cooked clay tiles, stone walls, large windows and beautiful gardens that were invited inside made the most endearing and productive days for the creative couple.
“I wake up at 9 am. At 10 I am in the foundry. Then I go home to work. Here I only make sculptures, don't paint. Around 2 we go to the beach, the same Bagno I have had for years, until approximately 5. Then I work a little more before spending the night with friends, artists and collectors. In July my grandchildren arrive and we become a big, happy and chaotic family of 18 people, ”Botero shared about her routine in Pietrasanta to The Florentine.
His two -story house looked between an olive forest and which scene of some of his famous paintings, cheerful flowers of lavender, basil and rosemary, served as a backdrop on the one hand for the VenusBotero sculpture ** ** and on the other, for a vari sculpture.
Indomitable minds
Botero and Vari had their workshop at home. During their stay in Pietrasanta, artists divided their time between their work space and their summer home to make the most of their stay but keeping the pleasure of work separately. At the end of the day, the couple went down to the town to enjoy the sunset in some nearby coffee sharing a dinner with their friends and family.
