This piece presents a sharp reflection on the value and power of money. The repetition of one-dollar bills, deformed into a fluid motion that converges toward a point, evokes the idea of flow, as if energy were streaming. The choice to integrate a real faucet, from which money itself seems to pour, 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 spectacle and paradox: an inexhaustible source of desire, but also a symbol of power that slips away and escapes from hands.

The work is a digital painting on 350 g/m² canvas, the faucet is iron, the droplet is resin with a ferrous core.

The shipment is insured. The package is carefully packed.

The droplet is shipped separately from the faucet, to be screwed onto the faucet (by hand). This is 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 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 talent recognized 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 Geometer and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. There arose the ever-stronger need to find himself and unleash 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, pop art, and contemporary art paintings and sculptures.
"It is never easy to categorize 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 suits modern times: impactful and memorable."
