AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A one-of-a-kind, handmade piece.

A sculpture of a drinking horse in patinated terracotta with an iron base, ideal for stylishly furnishing both classic and contemporary interiors. The technique used is the traditional clay modeling and subsequent kiln firing, so this is not a 3D-printed piece.

This sculpture depicts the head of a drinking horse. The shape of the muzzle is elegant and stylized, with soft lines that convey a sense of movement and vitality. The surface features a rich texture that catches the light in a fascinating way, adding depth to the piece. Mounted on a simple base, the sculpture is perfect for indoor display, drawing attention to its beauty and symbolic meaning.

It evokes feelings of nobility and freedom, presenting the horse not only as an animal but also as a symbol of grace and strength. This artistic piece can inspire 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 blends tradition and experimentation. He uses materials such as stone, marble, clay, and resin, 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 reflection. His mastery of materials and rigorous approach contribute to developing an autonomous artistic language, capable of expressing tension and strength.

The work will come with a certificate of authenticity and will be shipped in rigid packaging.
