Three-dimensional canvas

This powerful contemporary work captures the essence of a universal symbol: the dollar. The black canvas, minimalist and deep, serves as a backdrop for a bold and immediate representation, where the brush, unusually, is not just a tool, but becomes an integral part of the artistic process. The drawing of the dollar emerges from the canvas right where the brush left its mark, creating a almost surreal effect, as if the painterly gesture were still taking shape.

The canvas, in contrast with the luminous drawing of the dollar, evokes a sense of mystery and introspection, leaving room for the viewer to reflect on the meaning of money in modern society. The act of leaving the brush attached to the canvas, suspended in its movement, suggests a work that is continually evolving, as if the creative process were still underway and the value of the dollar were something dynamic and never static.

The work is a digital painting on 350 g/m² canvas worked with acrylic paint to give the impression of a three-dimensional brushstroke.
The brush is firmly attached to the canvas with screws.

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately 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 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 Geomatics and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. 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 rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
