Andrea Roggi
Andrea Roggi was born in Tuscany in 1962. Since his adolescence, an artist’s soul is revealed in him. He likes to paint but also to write poetry. During one of his visits to the Basilica of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Andrea was captivated by the trompe-l’oeil effect of Masaccio’s fresco: The Trinity. It is the triggering element. Indeed, the plays of reliefs and the three-dimensionality impassioned him for a long time. From then on, it is sculpture that will have his favors.
He begins by working the bronze, exploiting the method of the casting with the lost wax. But Andrea wishes to go further and does not hesitate to launch out in parallel in studies of chemistry and metallurgy chemistry and metallurgy, which allows him to perfect and personalize his technique.
This is how he developed a patina of multiple colors that he applied to his bronzes, giving them a delicious originality. Recently, he began to work with another material specific to the quarries of his native Italy: marble.

L’Humanité et le Cercle de la vie sont des thèmes qu’il affectionne particulièrement. C’est ainsi que l’olivier est souvent représenté dans ses œuvres. Arbre de vie par excellence, il représente aussi un joli clin d’œil au pays de Dante.
Sensible à la cause de la jeunesse, Andrea ambitionne de démocratiser l’art auprès de cette population afin d’en développer la curiosité et la culture. C’est ainsi que prend vie le mouvement Art for Young. Ce dernier donne lieu à de multiples initiatives et trouve son paroxysme en 1999 avec la création du surprenant Parco della Creatività (Parc de la créativité). Situé à Castiglione Fiorentino, cet endroit accueille de nombreux artistes d’Italie et d’ailleurs à travers manifestations et expositions où toutes les formes d’art sont permises et avec pour seul maître-mot : la créativité.
