AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Sleeping Barn Owl is a sculpture of a barn owl that represents a poetic interpretation of this fascinating nocturnal raptor. Its elegant and flowing shape, with soft and rounded lines, captures the essence of the animal, conveying a sense of serenity and introspection.
The eyes, half-closed, give the work an expression of calm and contemplation, while the delicate beak appears almost like a sculptural element in itself.
This stylistic choice conveys a strong connection with nightlife, a symbol of mystery and wisdom.
Hanged on a wall, the sculpture becomes a focal point that sends a message of respect for nature and the beauty of animals.
This piece invites the viewer to reflect on the connection between wild creatures and art, celebrating the wonder of the natural world.

The piece, unique and original in ceramic, was modeled in clay and fired, then glazed with special effects and finishes.
There is a hole on the back for attaching it to the wall.
The artwork will be shipped with careful packaging and a corresponding authenticity certificate.

The Italian artist Federico Alibrio, born in 1995, is always seeking inspiration to grow through new experiences.

Graduated in Sculpture in 2021 from the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania, he works in sculpture and painting. He has participated and continues to participate in exhibitions and symposia of high cultural profile, demonstrating commitment and seriousness in approaching sculptural practice.

Reality itself is the greatest source of inspiration. Its passions are: wild animals (sensitive to endangered species) and trees.
His goal is to showcase the beauty of nature.
