About The Artwork
The theory of letters evolution. Letter "F". During my 30-year career as a graffiti writer, I evolved letters, creating my own style. This evolution has led me to modify and distort the letters to my liking. After several years, the letters took on dynamic, sometimes aerodynamic shapes. My passion for the master sculptors of the Renaissance led me to create a series of marble statues, representing the letters of my graffiti style, to make them eternal. This letter, the "F", It has a particularly interesting form for me. I went to the famous Carrara marble quarries, to personally select the piece of marble from which to sculpt the letter. Thanks to my personal evolution of letters over thirty years, I have deformed its structure to make it sinuous and attractive.I widened its vertical bar and gave it a sinuous shape, formed by various elements that fit together like the petals of a flower. I shrunk the two horizontal bars and gave the upper one a spherical loop. Although it is distorted, the letter is still legible, but it takes on a graceful and vertically slender shape, which in its appearance reminds me of a flame Hand made. Year 2023. White marble of Carrara. Sculpture dimension: 21 x 32 x 11 cm. Total volume with base: 25 x 39 x 20 cm. Base dimension: 25 x 20 x 7 cm. Weight: 15 Kg.

Alberto Silva aka "SAND" is a graffiti writer. His career began in 1994, based on the evolution of letters, with which he created his own personal style. Evolving the letters of the alphabet is the main foundation on which the culture of graffiti writing rests and Sand has made it his life's purpose. His graffiti circulated on subway trains throughout Europe and New York City. It is inspired by the founding fathers of graffiti that originated in the Bronx in the 70s.During his thirty-year career, he has developed an obsessive search for letter shapes. Today his letters have taken on personal forms, embodying sinuous and dynamic forms that sometimes reach the appearance of aerodynamics or abstracts. In addition to hundreds of trains and walls, he also painted many canvases. His art is unconventional, but has developed in the streets illegally, with a form of total freedom. His defiance of the authorities was born to show everyone his name, with an irreverent spirit that despises the rules. He is labeled a vandal, but his graffiti is part of contemporary art. Having always been passionate about the classical art of the Renaissance and therefore the statues of the great masters such as Bernini and Michelangelo, he decided to set the evolution of his graffiti letters in marble. This pure and candid material has brought the letters to their essence, as the absence of colors has simplified them in their essential forms, but at the same time has made them eternal.
