WELCOME TO VARSI
We are happy to introduce ourselves. We are Varsi, a creative laboratory with roots in Rome and a contemporary and inventive perspective. Founded in 2013 by Massimo Scrocca, Varsi has supported the work of Italian and foreign artists while also examining expressions associated with current art trends through group and solo shows.
Since the establishment of our creative studio in 2019, we have focused on producing screen prints, art books, design products, and apparel. We work with fantastic artisan partners, including She.Lab for editorial works, 56 Fili for screen printing and B/34 for design to provide a special platform for experimenting with various artistic mediums and styles.
Our distinctive artisanal approach, which blends centuries-old manual skills with ever-more-innovative production, is what sets us apart. We take great pride in providing our clients with one-of-a-kind artwork and designs that have been meticulously crafted with love.
We are thrilled to have you join the Varsi world and to share with you our distinctive and avant-garde artistic vision.
