Salvatore Alibrio - Cangiant

Bas-relief composed of small and precious faces. It is a unique work of its kind because each tile has been painted and manually embedded on a wooden support. The materials used are gypsum plaster (resin) and acrylic paints, all high-quality materials, ideal for furnishing contemporary spaces.

The artwork consists of a grid arrangement of small colored tiles, each characterized by a thin and abstract facial imprint. The repetition of the motif within the grid suggests themes of identity, diversity, and unity. The textured surface adds depth and invites tactile exploration, while the overall structure evokes a sense of order and rhythm. This artwork could explore the intersection between individuality and collectivity through the lens of abstract portraiture. The use of color is particularly striking, emphasizing both contrast and cohesion. The piece could be seen as a comment on how faces, while unique, are part of a larger mosaic of the human experience. It invites viewers to reflect on the diversity of expression and emotion within a seemingly uniform scheme.
