AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
In this extraordinary full-round sculpture, Federico Alibrio returns to explore his subject of choice—the owl—infusing it with a plastic force and a chromatic sensibility entirely new. The work departs from the canonical clay tones to embrace an intense midnight-blue mantle, transforming the animal into a true incarnation of the crepuscular spirit.
The choice of terracotta—the quintessential primordial material—paired with such a modern and fluid patination creates a visually striking visual short circuit. Alibrio's owl is not a simple naturalistic depiction, but an archetypal symbol of wisdom, transition, and protection. With its gathered posture, slightly inclined forward, the sculpture seems to inhabit the surrounding space with a solemn quiet.
A unique piece with a strong contemporary impact, ideal for collectors seeking a sculptural work capable of marrying the tradition of terracotta modeling with a lyrical and strongly magnetic artistic vision.
The work will be shipped with careful packaging 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 exhibitions and symposia of high cultural profile, 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.
