Biography

Andrea Oliva was born in Milan on 15/02/1973.
He attends the classical high school but then decides to follow his instinct, leaves the gymnasium and enrolls in the Caravaggio Art High School where he graduates in 1992 and subsequently attends the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. He plays in several musical groups (drums and guitar), and simultaneously attends the studios of already established artists, beginning a long period of collaboration with some of them, from whom he learns the specific techniques of sculpture. He also worked for a period at the historic gypsum workshop "Fumagalli e Dossi". He begins a steady series of solo exhibitions, the first in 1994, and also participates in group exhibitions; he takes part in sculpture symposia and competitions and becomes an artist member of the Museo della Permanente in Milan. He also dedicates himself to painting and to writing poetry, some of which is published in specialized magazines.

He creates on commission the plaques of the "doctorate in chemical sciences and in industrial chemistry" for the University of Milan in 2004 and for the University of Insubria (Varese–Como) in 2005.
He has produced several public monuments; one of the most important is a funerary monument located in Milan’s main cemetery.
