The Klimt painting is transformed into a fluid image, sucked into a vortex that distills its visual essence. From the center of the movement emerges a real faucet that pierces the canvas, from which a golden droplet descends: the final “concentrate” of the icon.

The work engages in dialogue with the myth of classical art through a contemporary and industrial aesthetic, suggesting that even the most famous images can be deconstructed, extracted, and reformulated into a new matter.

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, ranking just 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 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 Geometrics and Architecture, led him to work with a resin sculpture artisan. There arose an 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 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 rework it with a design that blends well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
