limited edition x/8
This work plays with the perception between two- and three-dimensional, transforming a static image into a living experience. The colored liquid flowing down the canvas blends perfectly with the real valve, creating the illusion that the color is truly spilling from the canvas.
The physical insertion of the valve and the suspended droplet breaks the fourth wall of art, prompting the observer to question what is real and what is not. The effect is ironic and provocative: is it possible to control the creative flow? Can inspiration be opened and closed as if it were a faucet?
The work unites pop aesthetics, ready-made and conceptual spirit, with a direct yet layered visual language. An intelligent mix of color, matter and concept, that catches the eye and leaves room for reflection.
The shipment is insured. The package is carefully packed,
The droplet is shipped separately from the faucet, to be screwed onto the faucet (by hand). in order to ensure a safer shipment.
The work is a digital painting on 350 g canvas, the faucet is iron, the droplet resin with a iron core.
The frame is not included.
The shipment is insured. The package is carefully packed,
The edition number shipped is randomly 8 copies.
The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately placing 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 a resin sculpture craftsman. 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 street art, pop art, and contemporary art paintings and sculptures.
"It is never easy to classify one’s 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."
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.
