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 was present at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, thereby expanding 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 placed among the top three most searched names on the Catawiki platform, a further sign of growing appreciation for his work. These recognitions highlight the extraordinary talent and the ever-increasing visibility of Santicri in the contemporary art scene.

This work stages a pungent reflection on the value and power of money. The repetition of one-dollar bills, deformed into a fluid motion that converges toward a point, recalls the idea of flow, as if it were an energy that runs. The choice to integrate a real faucet, from which money seems to gush, amplifies the conceptual dimension: money as a liquid, manipulable resource, and at the same time illusory.

In this way, the artist does not merely represent money, but stages it as spectacle and paradox: an inexhaustible source of desire, but also a symbol of a power that slips away and escapes from hands.

The work is a digital painting on 350 g canvas, the faucet is iron, the drop is resin with an iron core.

Shipping insured. The package is carefully packed

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

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately behind icons like Kaws and Banksy. Her 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 followed a path that, between studies in Geometra and Architecture, led him to collaborate with an artisan of 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 paintings and sculptures of street art, pop art, contemporary art.
"Classifying one's art is never easy; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that suits 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.
