Sculpture, Fauno - 35 cm - Ceramic

Lot Title: Extraordinary Faun / Satyr Sculpture in Terracotta Patinated with White Plaster – Material Expressionism

Intense mythological head handcrafted with strong plasticity and plaster-like finish.

Fascinating terracotta art sculpture depicting a figure from classical mythology, identifiable as a Faun or Satyr. The work stands out for an extraordinary expressive force and a deeply material workmanship: the facial features are defined, the beard and windswept hair are modeled with vigor, and the horned features and pointed ears emerge with dynamism from the composition.

The peculiarity of the piece resides in its finish: terracotta is treated with a refined white plaster patina that enhances its plasticity and volumes. This color choice creates a clear contrast of light and shadow in the deep grooves of the carving, fully highlighting the artist's manual imprint and the rough texture of the material.

A striking decorative art piece and collectible, capable of dialoguing perfectly with environments featuring modern minimalist design as well as more classical contexts.
