The sculpture is a provocative artistic expression. This work seems to challenge conventional conventions and traditional expectations of art, blending ancient and modern elements in a surprising context.

The choice to depict a spinario, a typical subject of classical art, in such an unusual and contemporary setting suggests a reflection on our current culture and our relationship with the past. The use of Balenciaga and the scene of the removal of feces can be interpreted as a pointed critique of consumerism and the obsession with luxury in the modern world.

The work appears to aim at provoking a reaction in the audience, raising questions about its symbolism and its deeper meaning. Ultimately, this contemporary sculpture seems to be a bold commentary on contemporary society, its obsession with consumption, and its relationship with history and tradition.

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

Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist followed a path that, between studies in Geometer and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. There arose the growing 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 paintings and sculptures of street art, pop art, and 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 reinterpret it with a design that blends well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
