Mariko
Inspired by the traditional clay statues and sculptures created by tribespeople she saw as a child growing up in Africa, sculptor Mariko continues to explore folk art of that type in her studio. Working with materials such as ceramic, bronze and sandstone to create her figurative sculptures and nude sculptures, Mariko explores mythology, the animal kingdom and more.
Mariko was born in 1958 and was raised in Madagascar, where she was fascinated by the work of local artisans, who created figurative sculptures in clay. During her adolescence, she learned more about different sculpting techniques while traveling throughout Kenya, Mauritius, Reunion Island, Corsica and Côte d’Ivoire. At the age of 14, Mariko decided to become an artist and, because she was too young to attend art school, received private lessons from the director at the Abidjan School of Fine Arts in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire.
In the early 1980s, Mariko left Africa to continue her art education in France, where she studied clay art and sculpture at the Beaux-Arts de Montpellier. There, she became influenced by Cubism. After graduating from the school in 1987, Mariko worked with Parisian decorators. During the early 1990s, she worked as a freelance designer, creating garden furniture at the Terrada Ganges factory.
After Mariko spent a year studying old architecture and rehabilitation techniques at the Université Paul Valéry Montpellier, she moved to southern Corsica, where she established a studio and opened an art school — Artu Di A Tarra.
From her workshop in the small Corsican village of Santa-Lucia di Talla, Mariko specializes in monumental sculptures made of glazed ceramics, resin, wood panels and recycled materials, such as engine parts. Her work has been exhibited at numerous galleries, including the Galerie Frank Picon in Paris, Gauchet Fine Art in the French Riviera and Miami, Galerie du Port in Bonifacio and Art Basel Miami Beach.
