Original Work
This work fuses painting and object, transforming an immediate and recognizable image into a physical gesture suspended in time. The brush, incorporated into the canvas, is not just a tool but a living trace of the action, as if the mark had paused exactly at the moment it was happening.
The smiling face, a universal icon of lightness and communication, is reinterpreted through a broad and imperfect stroke, threaded with drips that crack its apparent simplicity. The smile remains, but it becomes laden with ambiguity: between spontaneity and construction, between immediacy and something that escapes control.
The insertion of the brush breaks the two-dimensional surface and shifts the work into a hybrid dimension, between painting and sculpture. From it emerges a reflection on gesture as a real act, on matter as a trace of time, and on emotion as something visible but never completely stable.
SHIPPING INSURED!
The package is carefully packed; the canvas is shipped already mounted on a wooden frame, the frame not included.
The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking 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 artisan. There arose an ever-stronger 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 for 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 harmonizes 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.
