Biography

Marica Quartuccia Artist Photo

I live and work in Marseille as a visual artist. From 14 to 18, I studied at the Marguerite Allard Academy in Marseille. After studying at the Institut d’Etudes Politiques of Aix-en-Provence, I took the classes of Ecole du Louvre.

From 1989 to 1998, I shared a workshop with two other artists, Catherine
Kieffer and Patricia Prunelle, with whom I created a not-for-profit organization, “Le Hors-Là”, helping artistic exchanges across countries.

Since 1999, I work in my own workshop. I aim to use the work of art to “keep alive”. The artists are nomad thanks to their power to think and dream. Artists are also witnesses of their time. They must act. They must awaken and help others to see. The art work must be useful.

I participated in exhibitions in France and abroad.
