limited edition x/8
This work plays with the perception between two-dimensional and three-dimensional, transforming a static image into a living experience. The colored liquid that drips from the canvas blends perfectly with the real valve, creating the illusion that the color is truly spilling out of 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 fuses 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 invites reflection.
Shipping is insured. The package is carefully packed,
The drop is shipped separately from the faucet, to be screwed onto the faucet (by hand). This ensures a safer shipment.
The work is a digital painting on 350 g canvas, the faucet is iron, the drop is resin with an iron core. The frame is not included.
Shipping 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 following 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, through studies in Geometrics and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. There arose the increasingly strong 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 reinterpret 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.
