Salvatore Alibrio - Rubik face

Rubik Faces Series
Year 2026

The artist has created a Series of Unique Works. Each sculpture is a one-off piece since it is handcrafted individually, which ensures its irreplicability. The color variations and facial features among the cubes make them conceptually distinct, placing the work within the contemporary practice of “variations on the theme.”

The sculpture is a work of art that reinterprets the classic Rubik’s cube in an innovative and surprising way. Instead of the traditional flat faces, the cube is made up of a series of sculpted portraits of human faces, each painted with vibrant and distinctive colors such as blue, red, green, white and orange. This color choice not only recalls the Rubik’s cube aesthetic but also gives the piece a dynamic and vibrant appearance.
Each side of the cube features a unique combination of faces, creating a fascinating play of expressions and emotions that invites the viewer to explore and contemplate. The three-dimensional forms and the texture of the faces add depth and realism, making the piece not only a decorative object but a true visual stimulus.
The cube is mounted on a black metal base, which serves to emphasize the color and shape of the piece, allowing a 360-degree viewing without distraction. This contrast between black and vibrant colors creates an engaging visual effect, making the work an excellent focal point in any setting. Art merges with the nostalgia of the game, offering a unique aesthetic experience.
