This work stages a pungent reflection on the value and power of money. The repetition of one-dollar bills, deformed into a fluid movement converging toward a point, recalls the idea of flow, as if it were energy that runs. The choice to incorporate 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 simply represent money, but stages it as spectacle and paradox: an inexhaustible source of desire, but also a symbol of a power that slides away from hands.

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

Shipping insured. The package is carefully packed

the drop is shipped separately from the faucet, to be screwed onto the faucet (by hand). to ensure safer shipping.

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately 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 pursued a path that, between surveying and architecture studies, led him to collaborate with an artisan who makes resin sculptures. 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 and pop art paintings and contemporary art.
"Classifying one's own art is never easy; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
