AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Antonio Sciacca – Goddess and Coral
Oil on canvas, 70 × 60 cm
Sold with black frame.
One of a kind piece
An original work by the master Antonio Sciacca, Dea e Corallo is an oil on canvas of strong symbolic suggestion and visual impact. On an intensely red, vibrant, and textured background, the profile of a female figure of classical inspiration emerges, suspended in a silent dialogue with a natural form that recalls coral, an organic and archaic element, symbol of life, protection, and transformation.
The composition, essential yet charged with poetic tension, relates the face of the goddess—steady, austere, timeless—with the branching fragility of coral, creating a refined contrast between human and natural, eternal and mutable. The brushstroke is precise, controlled, with a plastically rendered quality that recalls sculptural and metaphysical connotations.
The artwork is signed in the bottom-right by the artist and authenticated on the back, and it should be regarded as a unique piece. Ideal for collectors and for contemporary spaces that seek a work with character, cultured quality, and a strong sense of identity.
