This work stages a pungent reflection on the value and power of money. The repetition of one-dollar bills, deformed in a fluid motion that converges to a point, evokes 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 depict money, but stages it as spectacle and paradox: an inexhaustible source of desire, but also a symbol of a power that slides away from the hands.

The work is a digital painting on 350 g canvas, the faucet is iron, the drop in resin with an iron core, it is shipped already mounted on a wooden frame, frame not included.

Insured shipping. 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, positioning himself immediately 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 surveying and architecture, led him to collaborate with an artisan for resin sculptures. There, the need to find himself and unleash his creativity grew even stronger.
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 in street art, pop art, and contemporary art.
"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 reshape it with a design that blends well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
