This work presents a sharp reflection on the value and power of money. The repetition of dollar bills, deformed in a fluid motion that converges to a point, evokes the idea of flow, as if it were a moving energy. The choice to integrate 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 not only represents money but stages it as a spectacle and paradox: an inexhaustible source of desire, yet also a symbol of a power that slips away from and escapes from the hands.

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

The shipment is insured. The package is carefully padded.

The drop is shipped separately from the faucet, to be screwed onto the faucet (by hand). This is to ensure a safer shipment.
The edition number shipped will be chosen randomly among those available.

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 excellence categories, such as Rolex, Lego, Louis Vuitton, Porsche, Eames, Macallan, Tintin, Cartier, and Pokémon. A talent acknowledged 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 craftsman. 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 seeing what surrounds me, and I reshape it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
