Senoner centers his sculptural research on a series of main themes, including metamorphosis, heritage, and stratification, in a symbolic and material level. With his sculptures, he delves into the relationships that connect the individual, the mutable context in which he resides, and the elements that contribute to that transformation.
For his artworks, he selects and uses unique materials, mostly from animal and plant sources – including wood, feathers, lichens, fabric, beeswax – always keeping in mind their history and process of creation and evolution, while giving value to those factors.
The preferred medium is wood, an essential natural element, a collector of memories, a material that allows us to read traces of time – before, during, and after the artistic process.
Senoner recalls the traditional sculptural processes in a contemporary perspective, based on the message he needs to convey, searching a language strictly connected to the concrete nature of the chosen materials and topics narrated. He tries to establish a dialogue and induce parallelism with the memories of the viewer.

Senoner’s contemporary wooden sculptures have featured in exhibitions across Italy, including at the MuSa / Salò Museum, Palazzo Monti in Brescia and the National Museum of Musical Instruments, Rome, as well as in USA, France and Switzerland. He has completed artist residencies in Serbia, Italy and France, participated in the Venice Biennale 2011, and received numerous awards including the Premio Ora, Premio Cramum and the Enegan Art Prize.
Andreas Senoner attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and the Facultad de Bellas Artes San Carlos in Valencia, Spain.
He followed classes of Performance and Sound poetry from artist Bartolomé Ferrando.
In 2006 he was granted a scholarship for Minneapolis College of Art and Design (Minneapolis, USA) where he attended sculpture classes from artist Kinji Akagawa, with whom he deepened his wood carving technique. From that moment, wood has become a permanent feature as a material of expression in his artistic practice.
