AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Santicri has participated in numerous internationally renowned art exhibitions.

Limited edition 2/8

“Decoded” transforms an iconic image into a visual system made of signs, dots and modulations. The figure emerges and dissolves at the same time, as if translated into a language intermediate between painting and code.

The surface, built through a regular texture, fragments the image until it becomes unstable: what up close appears as structure and repetition, from far away recomposes into a recognizable presence. The work thus lives in a double reading, oscillating between abstraction and figuration.

“Decoded” reflects on how today we perceive and reconstruct images: no longer as fixed forms, but as data that can be decomposed, reinterpreted and continuously regenerated. An icon that is no longer immutable, but open to infinite possibilities of viewing.

Oil on canvas 350 g/m², mounted on a spruce wood frame. Frame not included.
INSURED SHIPMENTS!
The package is carefully packed,

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking 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 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 as a Geometer (Geometra) and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture craftsman. There arose the ever-stronger need to find himself and give vent to 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 street art and pop art paintings, and contemporary art.
"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 rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."

Seller's Story

Communicating through a work goes beyond the message: it is the very heart of art. My works move between social messages and pure pop, often with a touch of irony. I try to reinterpret what surrounds me with a contemporary, impactful, and memorable visual language. Beauty, for me, is a bridge between people. In my works I seek to capture that sense of connection and recognition that comes from the harmony hidden in forms. Resin is today the material I prefer: it allows me to experiment, to fuse design and sculpture, to explore new aesthetic possibilities. This ongoing research pushes me beyond my comfort zone, keeping creative curiosity alive. I create to give shape to an inner impulse, to make visible what usually remains invisible: time, work, and experience that give meaning to our journey.
