Federico Alibrio - Inner abyss

"Inner Abyss" by Federico Alibrio presents itself as a work that transcends mere representation of the whale, encapsulating profound symbolism within it. The whale, iconically majestic and fascinating, is often seen as a sacred entity, a symbol of ancient wisdom and infinite creativity.

The artist manages to evoke not only the aesthetics of this oceanic creature but also its spiritual essence. The choice of patinated terracotta gives the sculpture an organic texture, evoking the idea of a connection with the land and, simultaneously, with the ocean depths that the whale represents.

This duality is crucial: the whale as a symbol of the principle of creation invites viewers to reflect on the interconnectedness of all forms of life and interspecies communication. The work becomes a vehicle of introspection, encouraging exploration of our relationship with nature and the importance of listening to the often silent voices of the natural world.

The meaning of 'Inner Abyss' extends beyond the physical object, serving as a portal to a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the cycle of life. Through this sculpture, Alibrio invites us to explore the beauty and complexity of existence, fostering an emotional and spiritual connection with art and the world around us.
