Fragmented Imperium is a 2026 limited handmade polymer sculpture by Cr3ativid from Italy, beige with gold leaf, measuring 24 cm high, 18 cm wide and 10 cm deep, weighing 400 g, hand-signed and handmade, in a contemporary maximalist style.
Description from the seller
This contemporary sculptural piece reinterprets the aesthetics of classical Roman portraiture through a fragmented and deconstructed visual language.
The bust presents a dual identity: one side preserves the calm, idealized features of classical antiquity, while the other appears fractured and partially reconstructed with hand-applied gold leaf. This contrast creates a strong visual dialogue between permanence and transformation, evoking themes of time, decay and rebirth.
The gold leaf is applied entirely by hand, giving each surface a unique texture and an organic interaction with light. The result is a dynamic and expressive finish that enhances depth and visual impact from every angle.
Custom made – Made in Italy.
Main characteristics include:
• Height: 24 cm
• Width: 18 cm
• Depth: 10 cm
• Material: high-quality technical polymer
• Finish: matte porcelain-like surface with handcrafted gold leaf application
• Handmade finishing and detailing
• Stable integrated base
The sculpture is produced using modern fabrication processes and carefully refined by hand to achieve a clean and consistent surface quality.
Each piece is individually assembled and inspected before shipping.
The photographs are an integral part of the description.
A measuring reference is included to clearly show the actual dimensions.
Please review all images carefully before placing a bid.
