Salvatore Alibrio - Lonely

Bas-relief composed of small and precious faces. It is a one-of-a-kind work of its kind because every tile was hand-painted and manually inserted into a wooden support. The materials used are gypsum plaster (resin) and acrylic paints, all high-quality materials, ideal for furnishing contemporary spaces.

The artwork consists of a grid arrangement of small colored tiles, each characterized by a thin and abstract facial imprint. The repetition of the motif within the grid suggests themes of identity, diversity and unity. The textured surface adds depth and invites tactile exploration, while the overall structure evokes a sense of order and rhythm. This work could explore the intersection between individuality and collectivity through the lens of abstract portraiture. The use of color is particularly striking, emphasizing both contrast and cohesion. The piece could be seen as a commentary on how faces, while unique, are part of a broader mosaic of human experience. It invites viewers to reflect on the diversity of expression and emotion within an apparently uniform scheme.
