Description from the seller

Rubik's Identity Series
Year 2026

The artist has created a Series of Unique Works. Each sculpture is a one-off piece since it is handmade individually, which ensures its irreplicability. The color variations and faces among the cubes conceptually distinguish it, framing the work within the contemporary practice of 'variations on a theme'.

Salvatore Alibrio's work transforms the iconic Rubik's Cube into a powerful metaphor for the psyche. By replacing the colored tiles with resin faces showing introspective expressions, the artist explores the fragmentation of contemporary identity. The contrast between the bright colors of pop art and the solemnity of human features creates an emotional short circuit: the human being is presented as a complex puzzle, an enigma waiting to be solved. The dynamic arrangement of the blocks suggests the constant mutability of the self, making this sculpture a fascinating dialogue between play, design, and deep psychological analysis.

Salvatore Alibrio, born in 1991, is an artist who has developed a 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 merges tradition and experimentation. He uses materials such as stone, marble, and clay, revealing a deep connection with his cultural roots. His work addresses contemporary social issues, often reflecting on current tragedies. Alibrio reinterprets the recognizable through a logic of fragmentation, stimulating critical reflections. His mastery of materials and rigorous approach contribute to developing an autonomous artistic language capable of expressing tension and strength.

Don't miss the opportunity to add this unique piece to your collection, completely made in Italy.

The artwork will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and will be shipped inside a rigid container.

The shipping cost includes a professional packing service, entrusted to a specialized company. This justifies a price that may be higher than standard.
