Description from the seller
This intriguing work of art by Salvatore Alibrio is a sculptural relief on a plaque with organic, irregular contours, giving it an almost archaeological appearance. Its palette is dominated by deep shades of mauve and violet, enhanced by iridescent flashes of turquoise and aqua green that bring out its forms.
At the center, a stylized female figure emerges gracefully, the sinuous curves of her torso and legs evoking sensuality and fluidity. With no head or arms, the focus is on the silhouette. A large winged insect, a bee, is prominently positioned on the figure’s abdomen, creating an unexpected focal point. The background features a geometric pattern reminiscent of a honeycomb, introducing an element of order and structure.
The work skillfully balances the delicacy of the female nude with the rawness of the entomological element, suggesting themes of nature, fertility, metamorphosis, or the fragility of existence. The glossy, enamel-like finish contrasts with the rough edges, enriching the overall texture. The artist’s signature appears in the lower left, a discreet seal on a piece of considerable visual and symbolic impact.
Born in 1991, Salvatore Alibrio is an artist who has developed a significant sculptural practice, taking part in exhibitions and symposiums, including those organized by the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania. His practice explores artistic language through an iconographic vocabulary that brings together tradition and experimentation. He works with 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, prompting critical reflection. His command of materials and rigorous approach contribute to the development of an independent artistic language capable of expressing tension and strength.
The work will be supplied with a certificate of authenticity and shipped in a rigid protective case.
