AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original polymer sculpture (built from scratch) by the artist **Charles Farigola**.
Represents a male head in profile, in a contemporary and expressionist style. The face is coated with a bright metallic silver finish, while the hair features a textured gold finish. Across the entire surface there are splashes and paint stains in vivid colors (blue, red, green, pink, violet, and other tones), which bring dynamism and an abstract, vibrant character to the piece.
- **Material**: Polymer
- **Dimensions**: 16 × 13 cm
- **Technique**: Hand-sculpted from scratch + metallic finishes and paint
- **Artist**: Charles Farigola
- **Condition**: Excellent, ready to collect or decorate
Unique work, with a strong visual impact, ideal for both contemporary art collectors and lovers of expressive and colorful sculpture.
Production and elaboration process of the sculpture
Modeling and molding:
Original modeling: Initial sculpting of the human figure (bust), paying attention to facial features and hair texture.
Obtaining the mold: Creation of a high-precision flexible silicone mold to faithfully reproduce the volumes of the original design.
Polymer casting: Casting with polymer resin (or polymer blend), ensuring a solid, durable, and resistant structure.
Surface preparation:
Sanding and deburring: Manual removal of casting imperfections and sanding the piece to leave a uniform base.
Primer: Application of a base coat of primer to ensure adhesion of subsequent materials.
Metal and color technique (Mixed Technique):
Fitting/Metallization: Application of mordant or specific adhesive for metal leafing on the areas of the face, hair, and base.
Silvering and gilding: Water gilding or by mixtion through the manual application of sheets of silver leaf and gold leaf in strategic areas such as the face and the top of the hair.
Chromatic intervention / Pigmentation: Manual incorporation of fragments of colored metallic leaf sheets (blue, green, red, pink) and intervention with paint/pigments to create expressive color contrasts on the silver finish.
Finishing and conservation:
Fixation:
Manual fixation of the chromatic scales and metal leaf.
Protective seal: Application of a clear protective varnish or sealer to prevent oxidation of the metal sheets and protect the work from dust and UV light.
