Federico Alibrio - Sculpture

Stone Spirit - Owl Quest’opera in terracotta patinata a freddo di Federico Alibrio sintetizes the majesty and arcane charm of the barn owl, transforming it into a timeless icon. The special finish, in grayish and petrified tones, gives the sculpture an archaic appearance, as if it had emerged from an archaeological dig or molded by the force of stone and the elements. The title "Stone Spirit" captures the dual soul of this work: - Matter and Form: The visual solidity of stone meets the symbolic lightness of feathers, creating a clear contrast between the sculpture’s material concreteness and the invisibility of flight. - Symbolism and Mystery: The barn owl, always a guardian of the night and keeper of hidden knowledge, is here immortalized as an ancient impassive spirit. Its solemn gaze and vigilant posture evoke a silent wisdom that transcends time. - Plastic Depth: The cold patination emphasizes the richness of details — from the defined volumes of the plumage to the soft lines of the amphora integrated into the sculpture — creating a suggestive play of light and shadow that enhances its expressive charge. A unique work of art, perfect for collectors seeking a deep dialogue between figurative sculpture, symbolic power, and artisanal mastery. The Author’s Seal: The Monogram To guarantee the artistic vision and originality of the project, the piece bears Federico Alibrio’s distinctive monogram. The symbol, which fuses the artist’s initials, is an integral part of the design and certifies that every phase of creation, from the original model to the final finish, took place under his strict aesthetic control. The work will be shipped in careful packaging with an accompanying certificate of authenticity. The Sicilian artist Federico Alibrio, born in 1995, is always seeking inspiration to grow through new experiences. Graduated in Sculpture in 2021 at the Academy of Fine Arts of Catania, he works in sculpture and painting. He has participated in and continues to take part in shows and symposia of high cultural profile, demonstrating commitment and seriousness in approaching sculptural practice. "Open-minded people find inspiration everywhere" is one of his philosophical approaches. Reality itself is the greatest source of inspiration. His passions are: wildlife (sensitive to endangered species) and trees. His goal is to display the beauty of nature.
