Antonio Sciacca (1957) - Lo sguardo della luna

Antonio Sciacca
Oil on canvas 50x70
Title: The Look of the Moon
Signed: front and back
In this oil on canvas, Sciacca abandons the rigidity of classical forms to venture into a surreal and metaphysical territory, creating an image that seems to emerge directly from the subconscious.
The absolute protagonist is an anthropomorphic crescent moon.
Inside the lunar crescent is set a human face.
The skin is alabaster white, barely warmed by pinkish nuances on the cheeks and lips.
The eyes, intense and clear blue, fix the observer with magnetic depth.
The moon does not float in the sky but rests on a plane; next to it, on the left, we find an orange (or a miniature sun) and on the right a container in violet and amber tones that recall pharmaceutical ampoules or Morandi-inspired vases.
The background is dark, almost nocturnal, with shades shifting from smoky gray to dark green, allowing the lunar figure to glare through the canvas with its inner luminosity.
The work invites contemplation and mystery.
The work will be shipped with professional packaging and tracked shipping.
