Salvatore Alibrio - Rubik face

Rubik Faces Series
Year 2026

The artist has created a Series of Unique Works. Each sculpture is a one-off piece as it is handmade individually, which ensures its irreplicability. The variations in colors and faces among the cubes make them conceptually distinct, situating 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. The cube, instead of the traditional flat faces, is composed of a series of carved 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 true visual stimulus.
The cube is mounted on a black metal base, which serves to emphasize the color and shape of the piece, allowing a 360-degree view without distractions. This contrast between black and the vivid colors creates an engaging visual effect, making the work an excellent focal point in any environment. Art blends with the nostalgia of the game, offering a unique aesthetic experience.
