Product information
"Telling the story of the birth, designing a nativity scene, and relating to spirituality is never a simple matter. So I tried to think of the crib simply, initially stripping it of all superstructure, and considering it as a set of sculptural objects, as volumes in space. It was precisely this idea of sculpture, understood as an assembly of solid volumes in relation to light, that guided my composition, generating strong, angular, "˜brutalist' figurines, if you like, but at the same time surrounded by a noble, important, almost regal aura, which unconsciously adhered perfectly to the sacred subject depicted. Hence the name Holyedrics, the amusing union between Holy and Polyhedron, a volume with many faces.
The idea of royalty is accentuated thanks to the use of gold decorations, typical of sacred art, but the real peculiarity is the presence the pixelated inserts, a digitally inspired multicoloured decoration also used for mugs, bowls and plates that gives the objects their true contemporary image, giving them a global-multicultural character, intended as a sign of union, coexistence, multiplicity and peace." â—† Elena Salmistraro
