Andrea Roggi, born in 1962 in Castiglion Fiorentino, Tuscany, gradually focused on sculpture after early interests in painting and poetry, inspired by Masaccio’s The Trinity in Florence. In 1991, he founded his studio, working in bronze with the lost-wax casting method and refining his technique through studies in chemistry and metallurgy. His “Trees of Life,” inspired by ancient cypress and olive trees, integrate human figures with plant forms in a magical realist style. Rooted in figuration yet poetic and abstract, his works meditate on the cosmos, time, and history, portraying humanity shaped by these forces.
