Biography: SANDRO SORAVIA
Sandro Soravia was born in Milan in 1931 and studied ceramics in Gubbio. At present he lives and works in Albisola (Savona) near Genova. Ceramics creation is the main focus of his work, which is characterised by a very individual vision and rich imagination. He has taken part in many exhibitions and he has held numerous personal exhibitions of his works in bronze, terra-cotta, and paintings in the principal cities of Italy as well as in France, Spain, Holland, Germany, Brazil, Japan, the United States, and the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
He has produced artwork to display in public buildings in Savona and Arenzano, and his work can be found at the Senate of the Republic, and in various other Italian towns and numerous private collections worldwide. In 1997 the S.I.A.E., the Italian Authors and Publishers Association, commissioned Soravia to create an artwork that would represent the "SIAE Award", the Oscar for creativity. The large sculpture he created called "The tree of creativity" became the official symbol of the SIAE awards.
Leading Italian and foreign critics have written about his work, on which loneliness is a recurring theme. Soravia, "unique, solitary, untrendy artist, who creates grandiose works on a miniature scale", has the great ability to peacefully exemplify human condition, without emphasis, but with sense of understanding and vibrant and alive participation.
