AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

"Inner Light - Sleeping Barn Owl Inner Light" is a magnetic ceramic sculpture created by the artist Federico Alibrio.
The work depicts a barn owl caught in a moment of absolute introspection, transforming the nocturnal predator into a symbol of silence and ancestral wisdom.

The piece stands out for a refined cold patina that gives the surface a earthy and organic texture.

The warm tones of ochre and the material incisions, executed with decisive gesture, recall the primordial bond between the creature and the element earth, giving the impression that the barn owl emerges directly from raw matter.

The title, "Inner Light", is a poetic paradox: although the barn owl is the master of darkness, the sculpture suggests that its true vision does not depend on the eyes, but on an inner clarity. The gathered posture and the barely hinted gaze invite the observer to look beyond the physical form, discovering a sense of spiritual peace and hidden resilience.

The piece, a unique and original ceramic sculpture, was shaped in clay and fired, subsequently patinated with cold patina.
On the back there is a hole to be attached to the wall.
The work will be shipped with careful packaging and the related certificate of authenticity.

The Italian artist Federico Alibrio, born in 1995, is always seeking inspiration to grow with new experiences.

Diploma in Sculpture in 2021 at the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania, he works with 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. His passions are: wild animals (sensitive to endangered species) and trees.
His goal is to display the beauty of nature.
