This work presents a sharp reflection on the value and power of money. The repetition of one-dollar bills, deformed into a fluid movement converging towards a point, evokes the idea of flow, almost as if it were a flowing energy. The choice to incorporate a real faucet, from which money seems to gush, amplifies the conceptual dimension: money as a liquid, manipulable resource, and at the same time illusory.

In this way, the artist does not merely depict money but stages it as a spectacle and paradox: an inexhaustible source of desire, yet also a symbol of power that slips and escapes from the hands.

The work is a digital painting on 350 g canvas, the tap is made of iron, the drop is resin with an iron core.

The insured shipment. The package is carefully packed.

The drop is shipped separately from the faucet, to be screwed onto the faucet by hand, to ensure a safer shipment.

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking after icons like Kaws and Banksy. His art stands out in an exclusive context that includes other categories of excellence, such as Rolex, Lego, Louis Vuitton, Porsche, Eames, Macallan, Tintin, Cartier, and Pokémon. Recognized not only for his creative value but also as one of the most promising investments of the year.

Born in 1992 in Macerata, in the Marche region, the Italian artist pursued a career that, through studies in surveying and architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. There, he developed a growing need to find himself and unleash his creativity.
His works are sold all over the world, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe.
His art is widely appreciated and is a must-have among collectors of paintings and sculptures in street art, pop art, and contemporary art.
"It's never easy to classify one's art. I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
