Unique piece 1/1
An iconic work is struck by an egg, but it is not an act of senseless destruction. The color exploding on the canvas is not chosen at random: it is the same as the inside of the egg, as if the essence of the gesture is transformed into paint.
In Desecrated, the artist makes a visceral yet lucid intervention, where apparent vandalism becomes a new language. It challenges the passive reverence for the “untouchable” image, but also is a generative gesture: from the strike a new balance arises, a new tension between past and present.
It is a desecration, yes, but sacred in its own way — because it transforms a primitive gesture into an aesthetic statement.
SHIPPING INSURED!
The package is carefully packed. The canvas is shipped already stretched on a wooden frame; frame not included.
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 craftsman who makes resin sculptures. 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 street art, pop art, and contemporary art paintings and sculptures.
"It's never easy to classify one's own 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 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.
