Description from the seller
Ancient Knowing - Sleeping Barn Owl
Artist: Federico Alibrio
Description of the work:
With "Ancient Knowing", the artist Federico Alibrio captures the very essence of mystery and wisdom through a refined glazed ceramic sculpture. The piece depicts a barn owl, a nocturnal creature that in myth and folklore represents the keeper of secrets, the bridge between the visible world and the invisible one.
The pose, characterized by a delicate yet intense twist of the head, is not merely an anatomical detail, but a gesture laden with meaning: it seems the barn owl is turning toward the observer to gaze into them deeply, carrying with it millennia of awareness, an ancient knowledge that predates time itself.
Color plays a fundamental role in this visual narrative. The choice of a warm, amber ochre tone, enriched by shading and small dark speckles on the texture, evokes earth, primordial clay, and the warm colors of autumn or a full moon at twilight. The glaze’s gloss reflects light in a nuanced way, giving the work a nearly spiritual vibration, as if the sculpture were alive and emanated its own warmth.
The clean lines and fluid shaping typical of Alibrio’s style fuse the tradition of art pottery with a contemporary, sculptural sensibility.
A magnetic and deep work, perfect for collectors seeking a piece of art capable not only of furnishing a space but also of dialoguing with it and with the observer’s soul.
The piece, unique and original ceramic work, was shaped in clay and fired, subsequently ceramicized with special-effect glazes.
The work will be shipped with careful packaging and the relevant certificate of authenticity.
The Italian artist Federico Alibrio, born in 1995, is always in search of inspiration to grow through new experiences.
A graduate in Sculpture in 2021 from the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania, he works in sculpture and painting. He has participated and continues to participate in exhibitions and high-profile cultural symposia, 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 showcase the beauty of nature.
