Description from the seller

Santicri has participated in numerous art exhibitions of international standing. Among the most significant, in 2022 he exhibited his works at the prestigious Palazzo Grillo in Genoa, and in 2023 he was present at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, broadening 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 Catawiki platform, another sign of the growing appreciation for his work. These accolades highlight Santicri’s extraordinary talent and the increasing visibility of his work in the contemporary art scene.

Santicri-artist
Technique: RESIN and marble powder
Dimensions: H17 x L10 x P10 cm
Condition: new
Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed
Edition: Balenciaga

The sculpture is a provocative artistic expression. This piece appears to challenge conventional and traditional expectations of art, blending ancient and modern elements in a surprising context.

The choice to depict a spina (spinario), a subject typical of classical art, in such an unusual and contemporary context suggests a reflection on our current culture and our relationship with the past. The use of Balenciaga and the scene of removing excrement can be interpreted as a pointed critique of consumerism and the obsession with luxury in the modern world.

The work seems to aim to provoke a reaction from the audience, raising questions about its symbolism and deeper meaning. Ultimately, this contemporary sculpture appears to be a bold commentary on today’s society, its obsession with consumption, and its relationship with history and tradition.

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking behind 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 Geometra and Architecture, led him to collaborate with an artisan who made resin sculptures. There arose the growing 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 street art, pop art, and contemporary art paintings and sculptures.
"It’s 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 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.
