AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The artwork consists of a grid arrangement of small colored tiles, each characterized by a subtle and abstract facial imprint. The repetition of the facial motif within the grid suggests themes of identity, diversity, and unity. The textured surface adds depth and invites tactile exploration, while the overall structure evokes a sense of order and rhythm. This piece could explore the intersection between individuality and collectivity through the lens of abstract portraiture. The use of color is particularly striking, emphasizing both contrast and cohesion. The piece might be seen as a commentary on how faces, while unique, are part of a larger mosaic of human experience. It invites viewers to reflect on the diversity of expression and emotion within an apparently uniform pattern.

Salvatore Alibrio, born in 1991, is an artist who has developed a significant sculptural research, participating in exhibitions and symposia, including those promoted by the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania. His practice explores artistic language through an iconographic vocabulary that combines tradition and experimentation. He uses materials such as stone, marble, and clay, revealing a deep connection to his cultural roots. His work addresses contemporary social issues, often reflecting on current tragedies. Alibrio reinterprets the recognizable through a logic of fragmentation, stimulating critical reflections. His mastery of materials and rigorous approach contribute to developing an autonomous artistic language capable of expressing tension and strength.

The artwork will be provided with a certificate of authenticity and will be shipped in rigid packaging.

The shipping cost includes a professional packaging service provided by a specialized company. This justifies a price that may be higher than standard.
