This work arises from a simple tension: what happens when a historic image ceases to be untouchable?

The classical painting is “opened,” crossed by a faucet that does not add, but subtracts. It is not a decorative gesture: it is a cut in time. The image no longer remains still, but transforms into a flow.

The drop is not only matter; it is memory slipping away. The past does not disappear, but changes state: from icon to liquid.

The work does not set ancient and contemporary in opposition. It makes them coexist in the same point, in the same instant.
It is not a quotation, it is a transformation.

The artwork will be shipped insured and carefully packaged.

The drop is shipped separately from the faucet, to be screwed onto the faucet (by hand). This is to ensure a safer shipment.

The canvas work is on 350 g canvas mounted on a wooden frame, the faucet is iron, the drop is resin with an iron core, frame not included.

SHIPPING INSURED! The package is carefully packed,

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking behind 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 the studies of a surveyor and architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. 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 is never easy to classify one’s art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that harmonizes with modern times: impactful and memorable."
