Sculpture, Busto di Sileno - 65 cm - Plaster

Silenus

Sculptural bust depicting Silenus, an ancient figure from Greek mythology and a companion of the god Dionysus. Traditionally portrayed as the wise old satyr of the Dionysian retinue, Silenus embodies a paradoxical union of intoxication, irony, and deep philosophical insight.

In this interpretation, the figure appears absorbed in a moment of introspection. The downward gaze suggests contemplation and memory, while the mature features evoke the wisdom traditionally attributed to Silenus in classical sources.

The sculptural modelling alternates between smooth surfaces and more expressive textures, recalling the plastic qualities of classical sculpture while maintaining a contemporary artistic sensibility.

Dimensions:
• Height: 65 cm
• Width: 35 cm
• Depth: 15 cm

A compelling piece for collectors of contemporary sculpture inspired by classical mythology.
