Description from the seller
Please note: lots will be shipped after August 18th
Unique piece made by hand
Sculpture of a drinking horse in patinated terracotta and iron base, ideal for decorating classic and contemporary spaces with style.
The technique used is the traditional one of modeling clay and then firing it in the oven, so it is not 3D printing.
This sculpture depicts the head of a drinking horse. The shape of the muzzle is elegant and stylized, with soft lines that convey a sense of movement and vitality. The surface has a rich texture, which reflects light in a captivating way, adding depth to the work. Mounted on a simple base, the sculpture is perfect for indoor display, drawing attention to its beauty and symbolic meaning. It evokes feelings of nobility and freedom, representing the horse not only as an animal, but also as a symbol of grace and strength. This artistic piece can stimulate contemplation, inviting viewers to reflect on the connection between humanity and nature, and the timeless allure of horses.
Salvatore Alibrio, born in 1991, is an artist who has developed significant sculptural research, participating in exhibitions and symposia, including those promoted by the Academy of Fine Arts in Catania. His practice explores artistic language through an iconographic vocabulary that combines tradition and experimentation. He uses materials such as stone, marble, clay, and resin, revealing a profound 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, stimulating critical reflection. His mastery of materials and rigorous approach contribute to the development of an autonomous artistic language, capable of expressing tension and strength.
The artwork will be provided with an authenticity certificate and will be shipped inside a rigid packaging.
