Description from the seller

Santicri-artist
Technique: RESIN and Marble Powder
Dimensions: H37 x L12 x W12 cm
Condition: new
Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed
Edition: gold 100ex

The sculpture is a blend of symbolism and irony that captures the viewer's attention and invites reflection on various levels of meaning.

First of all, the gesture of the raised hand with the middle finger raised is universally recognized as a sign of challenge or rebellion, a bold way to send a strong and unequivocal message. Here, this gesture is amplified by the fact that the hand is supporting the world itself, suggesting a kind of refusal or critique of the world as it is. It is a visual interpretation of frustration or dissent toward aspects of our contemporary world.

The use of this sculpture to represent the world itself, with the Earth resting on the middle finger, adds another layer of meaning. It could be interpreted as a critique of global challenges and socio-political tensions we face, or as a cry of alarm about the fragility of our planet. In this context, the hand assumes a role of responsibility and power, almost as if the artist is saying that the solution to these problems lies in our hands.

In its boldness and provocation, this sculpture offers a prompt for discussion and reflection on the contemporary world, the challenges we face, and our role in shaping it. It is a work of art that can evoke a wide range of reactions and discussions, just as many contemporary artworks aim to do.
The serial number may not correspond to the one in the photo.

Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist pursued a path that, through studies in surveying and architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. There, the strong need to find himself and unleash his creativity grew.

His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe.
His art is widely appreciated and is a staple among collectors of street art, pop art, and contemporary art paintings and sculptures.
"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 reinterpret it with a design that fits well 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.
