Unique Work

This work blends painting and object, transforming the painterly gesture into a conceptual installation. The brush physically embedded in the canvas freezes time in an eternal “here and now,” suspending the creative act in its very becoming. The broad and fluid brushstroke becomes the protagonist of a frozen action, transformed from an ephemeral gesture into a sculptural presence.

The artist plays with the ambiguity between completed and incomplete, evoking the memory of the gesture and questioning the role of the object in the artistic process. The insertion of the brush breaks the two-dimensionality of the canvas, suggesting a reflection on the boundary between art, action, and matter.

SHIPPING INSURED!. The package is carefully packed. The canvas is shipped already stretched on a wooden frame; frame not included.

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking after icons such as 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. A recognized talent not only for creative value but also as one of the most promising investments of the year.

Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist pursued a path that, between studies in Surveying and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. There sprang the growing need to find himself and give vent to his creativity.

His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe. His art is widely appreciated and cannot be missing among collectors of street art and sculpture, pop art, contemporary art.
"It is never easy to classify one’s art, I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of perceiving what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
