Andrea Roggi

Andrea Roggi, in his early years, was drawn to painting and poetry but ultimately chose sculpture as his main form of artistic expression. He briefly trained with Tuscan sculptor Enzo Scatragli before founding his own studio, La Scultura di Andrea Roggi, in 1991. There he developed his signature approach to bronze using the lost-wax casting technique. Since 2017, Roggi has also worked in marble, inspired by the natural forms and textures of Pietrasanta quarries.

Roggi’s artistic language blends the human form with natural elements — most notably in his recurring “Tree of Life” motif. His sculptures often depict figures that appear to grow out of or merge with trees, branches, and roots, representing ideas of unity, vitality, and memory. Using traditional and proprietary casting methods, he creates highly detailed bronze works that combine technical precision with poetic energy. Many of his sculptures seem to defy gravity, with swirling forms and suspended movement evoking timelessness and transformation.

Among Roggi has exhibited in major international art venues, including the Grand Palais (Paris), Olympia Grand Hall (London), Ahoy (Rotterdam), Grimaldi Forum (Monaco), and Fukuoka City Museum (Japan). Recent exhibitions include Humanitas – The Power of Love, held at the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence (2025), and Élan Vital, a large-scale public art route along Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris.
