Alessandro Padovan - LIBERTY (LUCE LED COB 4000K)

Luminous Portrait

Technique: Synthetic glass slab with micro-perforations and LED COB illumination
Dimensions: 51 × 51 cm
Lighting: 4000 K LED COB
Edition: Series of 10

This work arises from the encounter between contemporary art, material research, and luminous technology. The portrait takes shape through a dense pattern of small holes made on a slab of synthetic glass, which, thanks to their arrangement and density, create the different shades of white, restoring depth, detail, and expressive intensity to the face.

The surface, seemingly essential, transforms into a three-dimensional composition in which every single point contributes to building the image. The contrast between the black background and the brightness of the micro-holes generates a refined optical effect, capable of changing perception depending on the angle and the lighting conditions.

The perimeter LED COB illumination at 4000 K, with neutral white light, enhances the drawing and creates a luminous halo that frames the portrait, enhancing its contemporary character and minimalist aesthetics. The light becomes an integral part of the work, highlighting the dialogue between fullness and emptiness, matter and transparency, shadow and brightness.

With its dimensions of 51 × 51 cm and its essential structure, the work presents itself as a powerful visual element, balancing portrait, luminous installation, and technical experimentation.

A work that transforms a simple set of micro-holes into an image rich in character, where the light does not merely illuminate the subject, but helps define its artistic identity.
