Working with wood, marble, plaster, aluminum clay, concrete, iron, brass, polyester resins, Armacola creates compositions with a central theme of the human body and especially the female, which, with great precision, sometimes combined with geometric and abstract themes, unambiguously shapes or fabrics and sometimes it is fragmented, torn by rough, rough surfaces that give the impression of non finito. His works, embossed or embossed, are characterized by the strong contradictions and the poetic-dream atmosphere they create.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1458,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[29],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-3596","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-collection","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\n
