About this artwork
An imposing giant sculpture in plywood, a reinterpretation of the head of Michelangelo's David. A deconstruction of the Renaissance icon, it is broken down into a complex network of intersecting and overlapping geometric planes, triangles, and polygons. A work that engages openly with the aesthetics of fragmentation and reworking.
The plywood, with its warm natural tones and textured texture, adds an organic element that contrasts with the rigorous… precision of the geometric forms. This combination of the "humble" material and the grandeur of the original subject generates a visual tension that invites the viewer to deeper reflection. Light and shadow dance across the faceted surfaces, enhancing the three-dimensionality and creating new perspectives at every angle.

Credentials
- Featured in gallery curations
- Works on commission
Sal Picascia, with a background in architecture and interior design, expresses himself through painting, sculpture, digital art, and assemblages, often using found materials and unconventional media. His technique blends formal rigor and material experimentation, alternating precise lines with chaotic interruptions, and he contrasts luxury materials with discarded materials to reflect on the dynamics of consumption. His works evoke a profound urban solitude and prompt critical reflection on individual identity in today's liquid and hyper-designed society.
