Artists in residence

Each year, the Cité internationale des arts welcomes more than 1,000 artists from around the world, offering them a space for creation, research, and exchange in Paris, in the Marais and Montmartre districts. Open to all artistic disciplines—visual arts, music, literature, film, design and architecture, performing arts, and curating—it enables artists to develop their projects in an environment that fosters experimentation and meaningful connections.

Fanny Varjo

Year/s of residence : 2022, 2026, Finnish Cité internationale des arts Foundation

Visual arts

Fanny Varjo (b. 1995) is a visual artist based in Helsinki, Finland, working with sculpture and installation. Varjo graduated with a Master’s degree in Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of the Arts Helsinki in 2025. She combines various materials, such as metal, wood, hair, glass, and cast metal on her sculptures. Some of her works are made entirely in ceramics.

Her artistic practice is driven by an interest in corporeality and alienation. The subjects and themes of Varjo’s work arise with history, contradictory beliefs and mythologies, and their continuous link to the present.
