An iconic artwork is struck by an egg, but it is not an act of blind destruction. The color that explodes on the canvas is not chosen at random: it is the same as the inside of the egg, as if the essence of the gesture transformed into painting.
In Desecrated, the artist performs a visceral yet lucid intervention, where apparent vandalism becomes a new language. It is a challenge to the passive respect of the “untouchable” image, but also a generative gesture: from the blow arises a new balance, a new tension between past and present.
It is a desecration, yes, but sacred in its own way — because it transforms a primitive gesture into an aesthetic statement.

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, placing himself right 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 in Geometer and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture craftsman. There arose the 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, 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 reinterpret it with a design that blends well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
