A resin sculpture by Silvio Formichetti, characterized by the artist's signature gestural and material language. The work depicts a stylized human face, transformed into a dynamic surface through energetic drippings and splashes of color. Shades of blue, red, and black intertwine forcefully on the white base, creating a striking visual effect.
The sculpture is a unique piece, created using mixed media on resin. The instinctive brushstrokes and intense color lend the figure a powerful presence, making it ideal as a decorative element for modern spaces, professional studios, galleries, or private collections.
