Alessandro Padovan - LIBERTY

Fractured Identity

After more than fifteen years of artistic research, Alessandro Padovan, internationally known as the Screw Art Artist, inaugurates a new phase of his creative journey. His works are present in private collections and offered through galleries in several countries, where his artistic language has stood out for originality and continual experimentation.

After making the screw the symbol of his artistic identity, Padovan today introduces a new technique based on the controlled fracturing of synthetic glass. The surface is worked to generate a network of unrepeatable cracks which, rather than representing a break, become the medium through which the image is born.

In this work the portrait of the Statue of Liberty takes shape, a universal symbol of beauty, harmony and perfection. The contrast between the subject’s classicism and the expressive strength of the fractures creates a dialogue between past and contemporaneity: the perfection of the sculpture is reinterpreted through a fragile material, transforming every crack into a sign of light and rebirth.

As in Screw Art, even in this new series the material becomes the absolute protagonist. The artist does not paint the face, but lets it emerge from a process of transformation, where every fracture is unrepeatable and contributes to constructing the work.

This new exploration represents the natural evolution of Alessandro Padovan’s language: a path that continues to push beyond the boundaries of traditional techniques, transforming industrial materials into contemporary artworks with a strong aesthetic and emotional impact.

The work is UNIQUE, it comes with a frame, signature and certificate of authenticity.
