AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Unique handmade piece
This bas-relief sculpture by Salvatore Alibrio depicts an expressive face that struggles to emerge from the material. The features of the face — the eye, nose and lips — blend directly into the fluid folds of the rectangular surface, with no distinction between figure and support, conveying a deep psychological turmoil.
Colorwise, the work plays on the contrast between metallic tones (gold and bronze) on the reliefs and the teal/turquoise tones deposited in the cavities. This effect simulates the patina of verdigris and oxidation, giving the sculpture an ancient and tactile, material appearance. Light on the gilded points creates deep shadows that enhance its three-dimensionality.
Bronze-effect patinated terracotta sculpture, ideal for stylishly decorating both classical and contemporary interiors
The technique used is the traditional clay modeling followed by kiln firing, so this is not a 3D printing.
The work is part of a new series currently in research and development by Italian sculptor Salvatore Alibrio, born in 1991.
He graduated in sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania in 2017; he works in painting and sculpture.

Seller's Story
In the dialogue between matter and meaning, sculpture becomes a fragment of truth, capable of telling the stories of our contemporaneity and the roots that connect us to the past.
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 combines tradition and experimentation. He uses materials such as stone, marble, and clay, revealing a deep connection to 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.
