Explanation: This is one way of expressing this in English (based on dictionary definition below of plastica/plasmare vocab).
"plastica
1. a. L’arte e la tecnica di plasmare, cioè di lavorare e manipolare una sostanza plastica (creta, argilla, cera, stucco, cartapesta, plastilina e sim.) allo scopo di darle una determinata forma, sia come attività artistica fine a sé stessa, sia come tecnica preparatoria alla scultura (bozzetti, modelli)." http://www.treccani.it/vocabolario/plastica/
Hi!
'Plastica' here refers to the almost three-dimensional quality of the painting (cf. 'plasticità'). 'Compiuto' is a synonym of 'perfect'. As to 'gesto ampio', relates to the pictorial technique used. Check this old KudoZ for inspiration http://www.proz.com/kudoz/italian_to_english/art_arts_crafts...

Explanation: Plastica= l'arte del plasmare
Genesis 2.7
allora il Signore Dio plasmò l'uomo con polvere del suolo
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground
I think that I only fully understood the words plasmare and plastica after reading the Italian translation of Genesis. I image in the minds of ancient readers would be similar to God moulding clay.
