Lucio Oliveri

He was born, lives and works in Milan.
His artistic vocation manifested itself in 1954 at the age of nineteen.
In the 1970s he attended the sculpture course at the Milanese Cultural Artistic Center, completing his self-taught training.
For years, Oliveri has identified himself with a figurative style that expresses human moods and attitudes through an essential synthesis of the human figure, which he expresses in his symbolic and elegantly allusive creations, until reaching an intense expressionism with elongated forms carved from within. The sculptor participates in numerous artistic events and organizes solo exhibitions throughout Italy and abroad, receiving awards and recognitions. Extremely versatile, he exercises his manual dexterity, with the same ease, both on plaster, terracotta and bronze. Of this natural dowry he traces the merits back to his roots, to his extraordinary parents, who bequeathed to him the wisdom and pride of the work accomplished with mastery. In fact, his sculptures exalt gestures of love, family union, birth, growth.
They perceive themselves as a hymn that celebrates the awareness of being and faith in something evidently unspeakable and sacred, as elusive as the breath of a voice praying while singing.
