Description from the seller

Santicri has taken part in numerous internationally renowned art exhibitions. Among the most significant, in 2022 he showcased his works at the prestigious Palazzo Grillo in Genoa, and in 2023 he attended the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, further expanding his visibility in both national and international contexts. Santicri was recognized among the Best-Selling Artists of 2024 by Artmayeur, one of the most renowned platforms in the art world. In the same year, he was also listed among the top three most searched names on the platform Catawiki, another sign of growing appreciation for his work. These acknowledgments highlight Santicri's extraordinary talent and the ever-increasing visibility of his work in the contemporary art scene.

Dimensions: 90x50x15 cm
Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed
Limited Edition 1/8
This piece plays with the perception between two-dimensional and three-dimensional, transforming a static image into a living experience. The colored liquid that drips down the canvas blends perfectly with the real valve, creating the illusion that the color is really pouring out from the canvas.

The physical insertion of the valve and the suspended drop breaks the fourth wall of art, inviting the viewer to question what is real and what is not. The effect is ironic and provocative: is it possible to control the flow of creativity? Can inspiration be opened and closed like a tap?

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

SHIPPING INSURED! The package is carefully packed, the drop is shipped separately from the faucet, to be screwed onto the faucet (by hand), in order to ensure a safer shipment. The canvas is mounted on a wooden frame, the faucet is metal, the drop is resin with an iron core, frame not included.

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking after icons such as 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 its creative value but also as one of the most promising investments of the year.

Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist undertook a path that, between studies in surveying and architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture craftsman. 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 reshape 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.
