Limited edition x/8
At the top of the canvas, the surface appears burnt, warped and marked by a transformation that seems to elude any control. The fire bursts into the work and becomes the protagonist of an unexpected event, while the portrayed face reacts to what is happening, watching it with wonder and fear.
The character is no longer a static presence within the composition, but seems to enter into a direct relationship with the transformation of the canvas. Its gaze becomes an integral part of the work, creating a kind of dialogue between what is depicted and what is actually happening to the surface.
The work thus reflects on the fragility of matter and on our need to maintain control. Fire represents the unforeseen, the event capable of breaking the balance and altering what seemed stable and definitive.
The canvas thus becomes a moment of tension suspended between fear and transformation: the character witnesses the destruction of their own reality, while the artwork itself seems to react and change before their eyes.
What initially appears as destruction thus becomes a creative process. Matter alters, the image changes and the meaning of the work evolves, turning the character's fear into an integral part of its new identity.

The package is carefully packed,
The edition number assigned will be randomly selected among those available.
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 its 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 of Geometra and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture craftsman. There arose the 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 cannot be missing among collectors of street art, pop art, contemporary art.
"It’s never easy to classify one’s art; 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."
