Description from the seller
Moonlight Weaver - Sleeping Barn Owl by Federico Alibrio
Description of the work
In this masterful piece, Federico Alibrio transforms terracotta into a fragment of crystallized night. The barn owl, always custodian of mysteries and messenger between the visible world and the invisible one, is not here merely depicted, but woven through a fabric of grooves and patinas that seem to hold back the moonlight.
The animal's pose, gathered in a silent introspection, invites the viewer to a moment of contemplation. The cold patination technique enhances the sculpture's vibrant texture: ivory and ash-gray tones, interrupted by subtle ochre veins that emerge like golden reflections, confer upon the piece an aura of timeless antiquity, as if it were a relic of a dreamlike civilization.
"Moonlight Weaver" is a tribute to quiet wisdom. The title suggests the nocturnal bird's ability to move between shadows, weaving darkness with its inner light. The wings, hinted at by decisive yet fluid incisions, envelop the body in a protective embrace, making the work a symbol of protection and spiritual vigilance.
Technical Details:
Artist: Federico Alibrio
Subject: Barn Owl (Barbagianni)
Material: Terracotta with artistic cold patination.
Features: Signed and dated (26) on the back, complete with the artist's monogram. Ready to be hung, turning the wall into a space of poetic contemplation.
A unique piece that blends the strength of contemporary sculpture with the ancestral charm of animal symbolism.
The piece was shaped in clay and fired, subsequently patinated cold.
The work will be shipped with careful packing and a certificate of authenticity.
The Italian artist Federico Alibrio, born in 1995, is always seeking inspiration to grow through new experiences.
Graduated in Sculpture in 2021 from the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania, he works in sculpture and painting. He has participated in and continues to participate in high-profile cultural exhibitions and symposiums, demonstrating commitment and seriousness in approaching sculptural practice.
Reality itself is the greatest source of inspiration. His passions are: wildlife (sensitive to endangered species) and trees. His goal is to display the beauty of nature.
