AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original polymer sculpture (built from scratch) by artist **Charles Farigola**.
Represents a male head in profile, in a contemporary and expressionist style. The face is covered with a bright metallic silver finish, while the hair presents a textured golden finish. Across the entire surface are splashes and stains of paint in vivid colors (blue, red, green, pink, violet and other tones), which add dynamism and an abstract and vibrant character to the piece.
- **Material**: Polymer
- **Dimensions**: 16 × 13 cm
- **Technique**: Hand sculpted from scratch + metallic finishes and painting
- **Artist**: Charles Farigola
- **Condition**: Excellent, ready to collect or decorate
Unique work, with a strong visual impact, ideal for both collectors of contemporary art and lovers of expressive and colorful sculpture.
Production and elaboration process of the sculpture
Modeling and molding:
Original modeling: Initial sculpting of the human figure (bust) paying attention to facial features and hair texture.
Mold making: Creation of a high-precision flexible silicone mold to faithfully reproduce the volumes of the original design.
Casting in polymer: Casting/pouring with polymer resin (or polymer blend), ensuring a solid, durable and resistant structure.
Surface preparation:
Sanding and deburring: Manual removal of casting imperfections and sanding the piece to leave a uniform base.
Priming: Application of a base primer layer to ensure adhesion of subsequent materials.
Metal leaf and color technique (Mixed Technique):
Adhesion/Joining: Application of mordant or specific adhesive for metal leaf on the areas of the face, hair and base.
Silver and gold: Water gilding or mastic gilding by manually applying silver and gold leaf sheets in strategic areas such as the face and the upper part of the hair.
Chromatic intervention / Pigmentation: Manual incorporation of fragments of colored metallic metal leafs and intervention with paint/pigments to create expressive color contrasts over the silver finish.
Finish and conservation:
Fixation:
Manual fixation of the chromatic scales and metal leaf.
Protective sealing: Application of a clear protective varnish or sealer to prevent oxidation of the metal leaves and protect the piece from dust and UV light.
