Description from the seller

Handcrafted unique piece

Sculpture of a horse drinking in glazed terracotta with a metal base, ideal for adding a touch of style to classic and contemporary interiors. The technique used is the traditional clay modeling followed by kiln firing, so this is not a 3D print.

This sculpture represents the head of a drinking horse. The muzzle shape is elegant and stylized, with soft lines that convey a sense of movement and vitality. The surface features a rich texture that reflects light in a fascinating way, adding depth to the work. Mounted on a simple base, the sculpture is perfect for indoor display, drawing attention for its beauty and symbolic meaning. It evokes feelings of nobility and freedom, portraying the horse not only as an animal but also as a symbol of grace and strength. This artistic piece can stimulate contemplation, inviting observers to reflect on the connection between humans and nature, and on the timeless allure of horses.

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 blends tradition and experimentation. He uses materials such as stone, marble, clay and resin, 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 inside a rigid packaging
