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 increasing 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 ranked among the top three most searched names on the Catawiki platform, another sign of the growing appreciation for his work. These recognitions highlight the extraordinary talent and the increasing visibility of Santicri in the contemporary art scene.

This series of works, which is normally offered in larger gallery formats and at prices above 10,000 euros, has been exclusively adapted for Catawiki in smaller versions. This choice aims to make the artist's art accessible to a broader audience, while preserving the essence and quality of the works.

This work evolves the Creation from Chaos project: from the explosion of acrylic and fragments of real eggshells coated in gold leaf emerges the figure of a butterfly.
The primordial chaos transforms into a recognizable form, turning a spontaneous gesture into a defined image. Between matter, golden fragments and painterly energy, the work explores the delicate balance between chance and intention, fragility and creative strength.

SHIPPING INSURED!
The package is carefully packed, frame not included.

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, placing himself just 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 its 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 an artisan sculptor in resin. There arose the increasingly strong 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 and sculptures, pop art, contemporary art.
"It’s 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 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.
