Description from the seller
Sculpture: “Nelson” (2024)
Original work by Filippo Pietro Castrovinci, signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
“Nelson” is an anamorphic sculpture dedicated to Nelson Mandela, a universal symbol of freedom and resilience. The work transforms steel into a language of light and perspective; only from a precise viewpoint does the image take shape, revealing Mandela’s face as an apparition that emerges from the silence of the metal, a tribute to the strength of vision, to patience and to hope that endure over time.
Material: Carbon steel
Finish: Matte black
Dimensions: H 52 x W 43 x D 17 cm
Limited Edition: Copies No. / 50
Packaging and Shipping:
The work is packed with extreme care in a triple-gondola (triple-wall) anonymous cardboard box, with customized internal protections to ensure maximum safety. Tracked shipping with reliable national and international couriers.
Notes:
“Nelson” springs from a study in anamorphism, where matter and perception merge in a visual dialogue, through a skilful play of balances and distortions. The sculpture invites the viewer to change viewpoint, a metaphor for Mandela’s thought, according to which freedom and justice are earned only by learning to look beyond.
