Title: "Temptation"

Original work by Filippo Pietro Castrovinci, signed by the artist and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

"Temptation is a contemporary steel sculpture that reinterprets the shape of the apple as a symbol of desire, choice and attraction; the apple thus becomes not only a fruit, but a universal symbol of temptation and human fragility, transformed into a modern sculptural presence, elegant and with a strong visual impact.

• Material: Corten steel
• Finish: Natural with multicolored brushing
• Dimensions: H 13 x W 12 x D 12 cm
• Limited edition: Copies No. /50

Marble/quartz base:
Each base may show color variations and natural veining, making each sculpture even more unique.

Packaging and shipping:
Professional packaging with a double-walled box to ensure maximum protection.
Tracked shipping via national and international couriers.

Artist's note:
With Temptation I wanted to transform an ancient and instantly recognizable symbol into a contemporary sculpture; the apple represents desire, choice, instinct and that subtle moment when a person faces something that attracts them."

Seller's Story

Art as a personal journey, telling timeless stories Filippo Pietro Castrovinci is a contemporary artist renowned for his extraordinary ability to transform steel into works that fuse aesthetics and meaning. His relationship with metal stems from an immediate and deep connection, developed from a young age. In 2004, this passion solidified with the co-founding of the Italian Association of Art Blacksmiths, an innovative project that allowed exploration of new techniques and creative potentials, keeping tradition alive while pushing toward innovation. This pivotal moment marked a turning point in his career, giving him the opportunity to engage with other artists and refine his artistic vision. His sculptures stand out for the balance between strength and delicacy, geometry and movement. Each work is born from an intense design phase, during which the artist dialogues with the material, transforming steel into forms that capture light and the surrounding space; the result is works capable of evoking deep emotions and establishing a dialogue with those who observe them. Always seeking new challenges, his artistic path is in continual evolution, exploring the potential of modern technologies and redefining the relationship between man, matter, and creativity. In every detail, a perfectionist approach is reflected, where nothing is left to chance. His works are exhibited and appreciated at national and international levels, finding a place in private and public collections. Sculptures that vibrate with energy and modernity, with a perfect balance between the power of steel and the delicacy of a caress.
