Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a wooden sculpture of a crouching animal, likely a dog or a wolf, placed against a minimalist, grey background. The sculpture is constructed from various shades of warm, earthy tones, suggesting a weathered and textured surface. The composition highlights the animal's dynamic posture, with its body tilted forward and its gaze directed downward, as if in the act of releasing or spilling a pile of golden glitter-like material from its mouth. The rustic, natural appearance of the sculpture, combined with the unexpected inclusion of the shimmering, golden element, creates a visually striking and thought-provoking contrast, inviting the viewer to consider the work's symbolic or metaphorical meaning within the context of contemporary art. ...

Artist

Federico Cantini

1991 , Argentinian

Federico Cantini graduated from the National University of Rosario with a degree in Fine Arts. His work challenges the conventional boundaries between sculpture and installation, generating intimate and sometimes unsettling scenes. He is distinguished by his ability to create pieces that go beyond mere materiality, exploring the intersection between the rigidity of physics and human sensitivity. His creations are not simply static objects, but rather traces of a mood, pres- ences that interact with the viewer and expand the experience into a shared space. Cantini finds inspiration in everyday elements, which he transforms through personal reinterpretation. His works, infused with an unsettling familiarity and palpable emotional tension, invite the viewer to explore the beauty and complexity hidden in the seemingly ordinary. The artist presents everyday scenes that, when illuminated, reveal a raw reality devoid of adornments, without passing judgment. Here, the human is shown in its vulnerability and authenticity. Federico is a visual storyteller whose work is located in an ambiguous territory where violence and creation converge unexpectedly. ...
