Description from the seller
Original polymer sculpture (built from scratch) by artist **Charles Farigola**.
It depicts a male head in profile, in a contemporary and expressionist style. The face is covered with a bright silver metallic finish, while the hair has a textured gold finish. Across the entire surface splashes and spots of paint in vivid colors (blue, red, green, pink, violet and other tones) are distributed, adding dynamism and an abstract, 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
One-of-a-kind piece, with a strong visual impact, ideal for both contemporary art collectors and lovers of expressive and colorful sculpture.
Process of production and elaboration 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: Pouring/casting 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 layer of primer to ensure adhesion of subsequent materials.
Metal leaf and color technique (Mixed Media):
Preparation/Adhesion: Application of mordant or a specific adhesive for metal leaf in the areas of the face, hair and base.
Silver and gold: Water gilding or mordant gilding by manually applying sheets of silver leaf and gold leaf in strategic areas such as the face and the top of the hair.
Chromatic intervention / Pigmentation: Manual incorporation of fragments of colored metallic foil and pigmented metallic tones (blue, green, red, pink) and intervention with paint/pigments to create expressive color contrasts over the silver finish.
Finish and conservation:
Fixing:
Manual fixing of the chromatic scales and the metal foil.
Sealant: Application of a clear protective varnish or sealer to prevent oxidation of the metal sheets and protect the work from dust and UV light.
