Description from the seller

Rubik Series Faces
Year 2026

The artist has created a Series of Unique Works. Each sculpture is a one-of-a-kind piece as it is crafted individually by hand, ensuring its irreplaceability. The color variations and facial portraits among the cubes conceptually distinguish it, framing the work within the contemporary practice of “variations on the theme.”

The sculpture is a work of art that reinterprets the classic Rubik’s cube in an innovative and surprising way. Instead of the traditional flat faces, the cube is composed of a series of sculpted portraits of human faces, each painted with vivid and distinctive colors such as blue, red, green, white, and orange. This color choice not only recalls the Rubik’s cube aesthetic but also gives a dynamic and vibrant appearance.
Each side of the cube presents a unique combination of faces, creating a fascinating play of expressions and emotions that invites the viewer to explore and contemplate. The three-dimensional forms and the texture of the faces add depth and realism, making the piece not only a decorative object but a genuine visual stimulus.
The cube is mounted on a black metal base, meant to emphasize the color and shape of the piece, allowing a 360-degree view without distractions. This contrast between black and the vibrant colors creates an engaging visual effect, making the work an excellent focal point in any setting. Art blends with the nostalgia of the game, offering a unique aesthetic experience.

Salvatore Alibrio, born in 1991, is an artist who has developed significant sculptural research, participating in exhibitions and symposia, including those promoted by the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania. His practice explores artistic language through an iconographic vocabulary that merges tradition and experimentation. He uses materials such as stone, marble, and clay, revealing a deep connection with his cultural roots. His work addresses contemporary social issues, often reflecting on current tragedies. Alibrio reinterprets the recognizable through a logic of fragmentation, stimulating critical reflection. His mastery of materials and rigorous approach contribute to developing an autonomous artistic language capable of expressing tension and strength.

Don’t miss the opportunity to add this unique piece to your collection, completely made in Italy.

The artwork will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and will be shipped within a rigid protective envelope.

The shipping cost includes a professional packing service, entrusted to a specialized company. This justifies a price that may be higher than the standard.
