This work stages a pungent reflection on the value and power of money. The repetition of dollar bills, deformed into a fluid motion converging toward a point, invokes the idea of flow, as if it were energy that runs. The choice to integrate a real faucet, from which money seems to spring, amplifies the conceptual dimension: money as a liquid resource, manipulable, and at the same time illusory.

In this way, the artist does not merely represent money, but stages it as spectacle and paradox: an inexhaustible source of desire, but also a symbol of a power that slips away from and escapes from hands.

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

Shipped insured. The package is carefully packed

The drop is shipped separately from the faucet, to be screwed onto the faucet (by hand). This is done to ensure a safer shipment.

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking after icons like 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 followed a path that, between studies in Surveying and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. 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 paintings and sculptures of 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 perceiving what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that suits modern times: impactful and memorable."
