Sculpture, Testa dí Apollo - 39 cm - Wax, Plaster

This wax head of Apollo appears as a highly evocative sketch, poised between formal completion and openness to becoming.

The face, ideally classical yet deliberately imperfect, emerges from the material with a gentle severity. The features are harmonious but not polished; the surface retains the vibrations of the gesture, as if the artist’s thought were still impressed in the wax. The missing—or only suggested—eye breaks classical symmetry and introduces an oracular dimension: this Apollo does not look at the world, but seems to see beyond it, inhabiting an inner vision.

The hair, dynamic and deeply carved, recalls the solar and musical energy of the god, without decorative indulgence. It appears as living mass, almost in torsion, capturing light and shadow as a field of forces. The wax, a fragile and transient material, intensifies the sense of epiphany: Apollo is not presented as an eternal statue, but as a presence still capable of transformation.

The marble base, solid and luminous, enters into a powerful dialogue with the sketch above it: the permanence of stone confronting the precariousness of a form in progress. The result is a balance between the Apollonian and the chaotic, between idea and incarnation.

The sculpture rests on a marble base measuring 10 cm in height and 20 cm in width, whose solid, luminous presence establishes a powerful dialogue with the wax above.
