Unique Work

This piece fuses painting and object, transforming the painting 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 own becoming. The broad, 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 complete and incomplete, evoking 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, inviting reflection on the boundary between art, action and matter.

A talent recognized not only for its creative value but also as one of the most promising investments of the year.

Born in 1991 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist pursued a path that between studies in Geometer and Architecture led him to collaborate with an artisan of resin sculptures. There arose the increasingly strong need to find himself and unleash his creativity.

His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe.
His art is widely admired and must be among the paintings and sculptures collectors of street art, pop art, and contemporary art.
"Classifying one’s own art is never easy; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and I reshape it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
