This work plays with the perception between two-dimensional and three-dimensional, transforming a static image into a living experience. The colored liquid that runs down the canvas merges perfectly with the real valve, creating the illusion that the color is really flowing out of the canvas.

The physical insertion of the valve and the suspended drop breaks the fourth wall of art, prompting the observer to question what is real and what is not. The effect is ironic and provocative: is it possible to control the creative flow? Can inspiration be opened and closed as if it were a faucet?

The work fuses pop aesthetics, ready-made and conceptual spirit, with a direct yet layered visual language. An intelligent mix of color, matter and concept, that catches the eye and allows room for reflection.

"It is never easy to classify one’s art, I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me and I reinterpret it with a design that blends well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
