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 seamlessly with the real valve, creating the illusion that the color actually flows out from 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 turned on and off like a tap?

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

"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 harmonizes well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
