AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Santicri has participated in numerous art exhibitions of international renown. Among the most significant, in 2022 he exhibited his works at the prestigious Palazzo Grillo in Genoa, and in 2023 he attended the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, thus 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, a further sign of the growing appreciation for his work. These accolades highlight the extraordinary talent and the ever-increasing visibility of Santicri in the contemporary art scene.
Technique: Resin and marble powder
Dimensions: H13 x L15 x P13 cm
Condition: new
Authenticity certificate - handmade signed
Edition: limited edition 100ex
A simple, recognizable figure is transformed into something different. The teddy bear, a symbol of affection and protection, keeps its shape but loses its function: it is no longer something to touch or to live with lightly.
The surface completely changes the perception of the work. What from a distance appears familiar becomes, up close, more distant, almost inaccessible. This creates a direct contrast between what we know and what we see.
The work plays precisely on this tension: on the one hand it attracts, on the other it keeps at a distance. In this way, an image tied to childhood is reread in a contemporary key, becoming something more complex and less reassuring.

Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist followed a path that, through studies in Geometer and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a sculpture artisan in resin. There, the need to find himself and unleash his creativity grew stronger.
His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe. Inspired by great masters such as Banksy, Shepard Fairey Obey, Basquiat, Keith Haring, KAWS, Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Damien Hirst, Georgia O’Keeffe, Brook Andrew, Jeff Koons, Nicolas Party, Orlinski, Mr Brainwash, Space Invader, Warhol, Dillon Boy, Tracey Emin art, Joan Miró, Dalí, Picasso and Ai Weiwei, Joseph Klibansky, Kees Verkade, Herman Brood, Bram Bogart, Ton Schulten, Marlene Dumas, Jan Schoonhoven, Roger Raveel, Nic Jonk, Chris Berens, Lucebert, Lita Cabellut, Bram Bogart, Marianne Houtkamp, Piero Gilardi, Vinicio Berti, Roberto Miniati, Nunziante, Rabarama, Panamarenko, Guy Vandenbranden, Jan Fabre, Corneille, Jan Desmarets, César, Arman, Robert Combas, Michel Macréau and Pierre Soulages.
At times he has used brands in his artistic expressions such as Gucci, Prada, Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Streetart, Art, YSL, Puma, Rolex, Swatch, Omega, Seiko, Breitling, Montblanc, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Chanel, Christian Dior, Celine, Fendi, Air Jordan, Balenciaga, Valentino, Lego, Versace, Supreme, Mercedes, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Rolls-Royce.
His art is widely appreciated and cannot be missing among collectors of street art paintings and sculptures, of pop art, contemporary art as well as enthusiasts of comic book collections such as Disney, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Uncle Scrooge, Tintin, comics, Cartier, Pokémon, scale models, Zippo, Kartell, Eames, Vitra, Artemide, Artifort, Star Wars, Nintendo, gold and diamonds.
"It is never easy to classify one’s own 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.
