DOCUMENTATION: With authenticity certificate from the artist

DESCRIPTION: Iron is molded, cut, bent and welded as if it were a soft material; impressive is the quantity of shades and details that Francesco Virgata can insert into his works, so complex because they are obtained not by melting but by bending and welding.

The artist's lab seems almost like an anthem of an alchemist who secretly uses his formulas to get whatever he wants from the metal.

Important sculptures, such as the "pharaoh", the "sailboat", "distant lands" that measure a meter in height and even more, capture the spectator's attention almost by magic, revealing little by little their secrets and their Charm, to enchant him.

Unique work, from the private collection of the artist, made available to OnHouseArt and its collectors.
