AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Santicri has participated in numerous prominently international art exhibitions. 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, thereby expanding his visibility in both national and international contexts.

In the same year, he was also listed among the top three most searched names on the Catawiki platform, another sign of growing appreciation for his work.

Dimensions: 90x50x15 cm
Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed
Edition: X/8
This work plays with the perception between two-dimensional and three-dimensional, transforming a static image into a living experience. The colored liquid that drips from the canvas blends perfectly with the real valve, creating the illusion that the color is really overflowing from the canvas.
The physical insertion of the valve and the suspended drop breaks the fourth wall of art, prompting the observer to question what is real and what is not. The effect is ironic and provocative: is it possible to control the creative flow? Can inspiration be opened and closed like a faucet?
The work combines pop aesthetics, ready-made and conceptual spirit, with a direct yet layered visual language. A smart mix of color, material and concept, which captures the eye and invites reflection.
SHIPPED 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 stretched on a wooden frame, the faucet is iron, the drop is resin with a ferrous core, frame not included. The assigned edition number will be selected randomly among those available.
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 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 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 street art, pop art, and contemporary art.
"Classifying one’s own art is never easy; 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.
