AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Silent Wisdom - Barn Owl is a work by Federico Alibrio, depicting a barn owl, a fusion of art and nature that captures the essence of this fascinating nocturnal bird. The sculpture stands out for its realistic depiction, with clean lines and incisive details that evoke the serene majesty of the barn owl.

This bird of prey, a symbol of wisdom and mystery, is depicted in a pose that seems to convey a sense of vigilance and calm. The choice of wood as the material not only emphasizes the animal's connection to nature, but also adds a tactile depth to the piece, inviting the viewer to explore its textures and forms.

The interaction between the sculpture and its wooden support reflects a synergy between earth and sky, evoking the beauty of wildlife and the importance of conservation. Through this piece, Alibrio invites us to reflect on the fragility of ecosystems and on the role that every creature, even the quietest, plays in our environment.

Ultimately, the work is not merely a representation of the animal, but an invitation to rediscover the wonder of nature and to grasp its emotional and spiritual depth.

The piece, made of unique and original ceramics, was modeled in clay and fired, then glazed with glazes and special effects. The sculpture rests on a base made of fir wood, which becomes part of the artwork itself.
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 with a diploma 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.
