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; from only one precise vantage point does the image take shape, revealing Mandela's face as an apparition emerging from the silence of the metal, a tribute to the strength of vision, to patience and to hope that endure through time.
Material: Carbon steel
Finish: Satin black
Dimensions: H 52 x L 43 x P 17 cm
Limited Edition: Copies N° / 50
Packaging and Shipping:
The work is packed with extreme care in an anonymous triple-wall cardboard box, with customized internal protections to ensure maximum safety. Tracked shipping with reliable national and international couriers.
Notes:
“Nelson” stems from a research journey on anamorphism, where matter and perception blend in a visual dialogue, through a skilled play of balance and distortions. The sculpture invites the viewer to change point of view, a metaphor for Mandela’s thinking, according to which freedom and justice are won only by learning to look beyond.
