Potipher Andreas

Potipher Andreas (born 1957) is a Zimbabwean sculptor.

A native of the Goromonzi area, Andreas completed only primary school before being forced to drop out for financial reasons. He moved to Harare to work as a general hand for National Foods, later operating a packing machine. He would sculpt during his free time. After leaving National Foods, he went home to the Goromonzi area, carving stone and wood. In 1992 he graded tobacco on a farm in Mashonaland east. Here he was noticed by Cosmos Muchenge, who invited him to work at his studio. There Andreas began working on large local stones, such as leopard rock.

Andreas' work owes much to the sculpture of the Shona people. He lives and works in the Musana area.
