Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed
Edition: limited edition 100ex
A simple, recognizable figure is transformed into something different. The teddy bear, a symbol of affection and protection, retains its shape but loses its function: it is no longer something to touch or to experience lightly.
The surface completely changes the perception of the work. What from a distance appears familiar becomes, up close, more distant, almost inaccessible. This creates a direct contrast between what we know and what we see.
The piece plays precisely on this tension: on one hand it attracts, on the other it keeps at a distance. In this way, an image tied to childhood is reinterpreted in a contemporary key, becoming something more complex and less reassuring.

Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist pursued a path that, between studies in Geometry and Architecture, led him to collaborate with an artisan who makes resin sculptures. There arose the ever-stronger need to find himself and give vent to his creativity.
His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe. Inspired by great masters such as Banksy, Shepard Fairey Obey, Basquiat, Keith Haring, KAWS, Yayoi Kusama, Takashi Murakami, Damien Hirst, Georgia O’Keeffe, Brook Andrew, Jeff Koons, Nicolas Party, Orlinski, Mr Brainwash, Space Invader, Warhol, Dillon Boy, Tracey Emin, art, Joan Miró, Dalí, Picasso and Ai Weiwei, Joseph Klibansky, Kees Verkade, Herman Brood, Bram Bogart, Ton Schulten, Marlene Dumas, Jan Schoonhoven, Roger Raveel, Nic Jonk, Chris Berens, Lucebert, Lita Cabellut, Bram Bogart, Marianne Houtkamp, Piero Gilardi, Vinicio Berti, Roberto Miniati, Nunziante, Rabarama, Panamarenko, Guy Vandenbranden, Jan Fabre, Corneille, Jan Desmarets, César, Arman, Robert Combas, Michel Macréau and Pierre Soulages.
Sometimes he has incorporated into his artistic expressions brands such as Gucci, Prada, Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Streetart, Arte, art, YSL, Puma, Rolex, Swatch, Omega, Seiko, Breitling, Montblanc, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Chanel, Christian Dior, Celine, Fendi, Air Jordan, Balenciaga, Valentino, Lego, Versace, Supreme, Mercedes, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Rolls-Royce.
His art is widely appreciated and cannot be missing among collectors of street art and pop art paintings and sculptures, as well as among enthusiasts of Disney comics collections, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Minnie, Scrooge McDuck, Tintin, comics, Cartier, Pokémon, models, Zippo, Kartell, Eames, Vitra, Artemide, Artifort, Star Wars, Nintendo, gold and diamonds.
"It is never easy to classify one’s own art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of perceiving what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
