DUCCIO NACCI

THE VITAL TREE ART EXHIBITION

The Vital Tree exhibition is an encounter of three artists, Duccio Nacci, Olga Niescier and Andrea Roggi, each of them working with different techniques: photography, painting and sculpture. Their art depicts the beauty and energy of trees, as well as their poetic symbolism of power, wisdom and origins of life. The exhibition is a dialogue of artistic visions, impressions and interpretations of the tree figure; located in the natural context of a Tuscan landscape, it pays homage to our silent magnificent companions. Exhibition will remain open from September to November in the splendid setting of the Palazzo dei Priori in Volterra.

 

 

DUCCIO NACCI | PHOTOGRAPHY

Duccio Nacci, an Italian photographer, living and working in San Gimignano. He is renowned for capturing within his poetic images the beauty of Tuscany – silent landscapes where the human person, even though invisible, is always present and leads us towards a melancholic kind of joy. Since 1997 he has illustrated catalogues and books in collaboration with several national and international magazines (Condé Nast, Rusconi, Mondatori and others). Nacci has published several books and held exhibitions throughout Italy. His own photography gallery “La Bottega del Sale” is located in the center of San Gimignano. Duccio plays a key role within the Vitalità Cultural Assocation and its’connections within the Tuscany.

 

OLGA NIESCIER | PAINTING

Olga Niescier, is a Polish born artist, designer and curator. She obtained her master’s degree in Fine Arts and Fashion Design in the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz and in Fashion Design at the Polimoda Institute in Florence. Olga has pursued intense artistic activity since 2001, integrating art and design: painting, fashion, interior decor, photography, graphics and theatre. Since 2013 Niescier has regularly exhibited her artworks in some of the most charming locations in Tuscany: Florence, Bagno Vignoni, Pietrasanta and San Gimignano, where Olga lives and creates. Niescier’s painting work is a meditative exploration of nature’s structures and rhythms, an insight into botanical micro-universes, a personal encounter with Zen and abstract expressionism.

 

ANDREA ROGGI | SCULPTURE

Andrea Roggi, is a Tuscan born sculptor and culture animator. In 1991 he set up the art workshop La Scultura di Andrea Roggi, where he crafts his sculptures from start to finish and, with the help of his assistants, he manages to create large-sized yet finely detailed pieces. Bronze is his material of choice, which he elaborates with the use of the antique technique of lost wax. In the late 90s he became the initiator of the Art for Young movement, aimed at awakening an appreciation of art and all art forms in young people. The movement has culminated in the inauguration of the Parco della Creatività, its crowning achievement. In last years Andrea has launched beautiful galleries in Cortona, San Gimignano e Pietrasanta in Tuscany.
