Santicri-artist
Technique: RESIN and marble dust
Dimensions: H17 x L10 x D10 cm
Condition: new
Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed
Edition: Balenciaga
The sculpture is a provocative artistic expression. This work seems to challenge conventions and traditional expectations of art, mixing ancient and modern elements in a surprising context.
The choice to depict a spinario, a subject typical of classical art, in such an unusual and contemporary context suggests a reflection on our current culture and our relationship with the past. The use of Balenciaga and the scene of removing excrement can be interpreted as a pointed critique of consumerism and the obsession with luxury in the modern world.
The work appears to aim at provoking a reaction from the audience, raising questions about its symbolism and deeper meaning. Ultimately, this contemporary sculpture seems to be a bold comment on modern society, its obsession with consumption, and its relation to history and tradition.

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 domains 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, through studies in geomatics and architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. 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 is a must-have among collectors of street art and pop art paintings and contemporary art.
"Classifying one's art is never easy; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of perceiving what surrounds me, and I reshape 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.
