AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This intriguing artwork by Salvatore Alibrio is a sculptural relief on a plate with organic, irregular contours, giving it an almost archaeological appearance. The color palette is dominated by deep tones of mauve and violet, enriched by iridescent glints of turquoise and aqua that enhance its forms.
At the center, a stylized female figure emerges with grace, her sinuous curves of the torso and legs evoking sensuality and fluidity. In the absence of a head and arms, attention focuses on the silhouette. A large winged insect, a bee, is placed with emphasis on the figure’s abdomen, creating an unexpected focal point. The background features a geometric motif reminiscent of a honeycomb, introducing an element of order and structure.
The work skillfully balances the delicacy of the female nude with the rawness of the entomological element, suggesting themes of nature, fertility, metamorphosis, or the fragility of existence. The glossy, glazed finish contrasts with the rough edges, enriching the overall texture. The artist’s signature is placed on the lower left, a discreet seal on a piece with great visual and symbolic impact.
Salvatore Alibrio, born in 1991, is an artist who has developed a 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 unites 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 reflections. His mastery of materials and rigorous approach contribute to developing an autonomous artistic language capable of expressing tension and strength.
The work will be provided with a certificate of authenticity and will be shipped in a rigid outer sleeve.
Seller's Story
In the dialogue between matter and meaning, sculpture becomes a fragment of truth, capable of telling the stories of our contemporaneity and the roots that connect us to the past.
