Salvatore Alibrio - Cangiant - Rolling faces

Bas-relief composed of small, precious faces. It is a one-of-a-kind work because each tile was painted and manually inserted onto a wooden support. The materials used are diplast plaster (resin) and acrylic paints, all high-quality materials, ideal for decorating contemporary spaces.

The artwork consists of a grid-like arrangement of small, colored tiles, each featuring a subtle, abstract facial impression. The repetition of the pattern within the grid suggests themes of identity, diversity, and unity. The textured surface adds depth and invites tactile exploration, while the overall structure evokes a sense of order and rhythm. This artwork could explore the intersection of individuality and collectivity through the lens of abstract portraiture. The use of color is particularly striking, emphasizing both contrast and cohesion. The piece could be seen as a commentary on how faces, while unique, are part of a larger mosaic of human experience. It invites viewers to reflect on the diversity of expression and emotion within a seemingly uniform pattern.
