Spirito Italiano
Selected for the Art Unlimited International Open Art Competition, United Kingdom (2024) and featured in Visual Art Journal (2024).
Spirito Italiano is a portrait exploring Italian heritage, character and identity.
Sculpted from life in clay and available in bronze resin or bronze, the portrait captures a charismatic Italian man with an assured and engaging presence. His sculpted beard, subtle tilt of the head and faint smile give the work a distinctive sense of personality.
There is a suggestion of the storyteller within his expression. His relaxed yet poised presence invites the viewer to imagine the experiences, traditions and personal histories that have shaped the individual behind the portrait.
Mounted on a wooden base, Spirito Italiano brings together classical portraiture and contemporary representation, reflecting on cultural heritage while retaining the individuality of its subject.
The sculpture invites reflection on character, identity and the human connections that exist across cultures and generations.
Spirito Italiano is available as a limited edition of 8 in bronze resin or bronze.
Suitable for indoor display.
