Description from the seller
This extraordinary vase, created by the talented artist Federico Alibrio, is not just a simple container but a true ceramic sculpture that captures the essence of wisdom and nocturnal beauty. Part of a limited series, while sharing the same shape as other pieces, this specimen stands out for its distinctive and vibrant glossy red ceramic effect, which enhances every sculptural detail.
The vase is masterfully sculpted into the figure of a majestic owl, a universal symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and intuition.
Its imposing presence is given by:
Sculptural Details: The feathers are sculpted with exceptional attention to detail, creating a rich and dynamic texture. The large, piercing eyes, typical of the owl, seem to stare at the viewer with a look of profound intelligence. The horns on its head accentuate its regal figure.
Functional Contrast: The owl's figure blends harmoniously with the structure of a classic urn- or chalice-shaped vase, retaining its circular opening at the top. This fusion creates an intriguing interplay between the animal's organic form and the geometry of the container.
The chromatic choice: The intense and glossy red not only makes a strong visual impact but also gives the piece a modern vintage allure and an unexpected brightness. It symbolizes energy, optimism, and intellectual illumination – a perfect homage to the symbolism of the owl.
What makes this vase particularly precious is Alibrio's artistic approach: each piece in the series is unique, thanks to the reaction of the different glazes during firing. By purchasing this piece, you're not just adding a vase to your collection, but a work of art with its own soul and unique chromatic story.
Ideal for those seeking a design element that is both decorative and symbolic. Placed in the living room, study, or library, it will instantly become a focal point, inviting reflection and adding a touch of sophisticated originality to your space.
Don't miss the opportunity to own this "Owl of Wisdom" – a testament to contemporary Italian ceramic art and an auspicious talisman of knowledge.
The piece is made of ceramic and will be shipped with careful packaging and a certificate of authenticity.
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. Its goal is to showcase the beauty of nature.
