Description from the seller

One-of-a-kind piece handcrafted

Sculpture of a drinking horse in patinated terracotta with an iron base, ideal for furnishing interior spaces with a classic and contemporary style
The technique used is the traditional clay modeling followed by kiln firing, so this is not a 3D print.

This sculpture depicts the head of a drinking horse. The shape of the snout is elegant and stylized, with soft lines that convey 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, depicting the horse not only as an animal but also as a symbol of grace and strength. This artistic piece can stimulate contemplation, inviting viewers 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 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 unites tradition and experimentation. He uses materials such as stone, marble, clay and resin, revealing a deep connection with his cultural roots. His work tackles contemporary social issues, often reflecting on current tragedies. Alibrio reinterprets the recognizable through a logic of fragmentation, stimulating critical reflection. His mastery of materials and rigorous approach contribute to developing an autonomous artistic language capable of expressing tension and strength.

The artwork will be provided with a certificate of authenticity and will be shipped in rigid packaging.
