AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Leaf Barn Owl XL is a ceramic bas-relief depicting a stylized barn owl, immersed in a dance of blue and yellow tones that evoke a sense of calm and mystery. The elegance of the sinuous lines and the minimalism of the form highlight the grace and wisdom typical of this nocturnal animal. The bowed head and closed eyes of the barn owl suggest a moment of introspection, as if listening to the whispers of the night. The matte finish enhances the feeling of lightness and movement, transforming the piece into a symbol of tranquility and inner reflection.

The peculiarity of the sculpture is due to the surface that mimics the leaf of the prickly pear, making the piece unique in its kind.
The work, made of ceramic, is part of a series where each piece is unique because it is glazed with different glazes and effects. Pieces are identical in shape but unique in color.
On the back, there is a hole for wall mounting. It will be shipped in careful packaging along with the relevant certificate of authenticity.


Sicilian artist Federico Alibrio, born in 1995, is always seeking inspiration to grow through new experiences.

Graduated in Sculpture in 2021 from the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania, he works in sculpture and painting. He has participated and continues to participate in exhibitions and symposia of high cultural profile, demonstrating commitment and seriousness in approaching sculptural practice.


"People with an open mind find inspiration everywhere" is one of his philosophical approaches.


Reality itself is the greatest source of inspiration. Its passions are: wild animals (sensitive to endangered species) and trees. Its goal is to showcase the beauty of nature.
