Silenzio (2025) Following my previous automaton Crescendo, a humorous ode to the loudest and most forceful note, I wanted to explore the opposite: stillness, the quiet before sound. Silenzio captures an opera singer at the very moment before he begins to sing, embodying both anticipation and restraint. The piece also carries a subtle, humorous nod to one of the greatest opera voices of all time, Luciano Pavarotti, an artist I deeply admire and draw inspiration from. This piece is based on a hand sculpted clay original and is then cast in acrylic resin. Every piece is hand-painted, detailed with pen and pencil crosshatching, and adorned with delicate touches of gold leaf. The result is a series of 20 unique pieces, each carrying its own character within the shared theme of silence and poise. Details Limited edition of 20, each hand-finished and unique 10cm × 10cm × 22cm Acrylic resin, hand-painted, pen & pencil detailing, gold leaf finish 1,6 KG Authenticity Each edition of Silenzio is delivered with a hand-signed authenticity pamphlet, documenting its number in the series and guaranteeing its originality.
