AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Santicri has participated in numerous internationally renowned art exhibitions. Among the most significant, in 2022 he exhibited his works at the prestigious Palazzo Grillo in Genoa, and in 2023 he attended the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, thereby expanding his visibility in both national and international contexts.

Santicri was recognized among the Best-Selling Artists of 2024 by Artmayeur, one of the most renowned platforms in the art world. In the same year, he was also listed among the top three most searched names on the Catawiki platform, another sign of growing appreciation for his work. These accolades highlight Santicri's extraordinary talent and his increasing visibility in the contemporary art scene.

Limited edition x/8

This work stages a pointed reflection on the value and power of money. The repetition of one-dollar bills, deformed into a fluid movement converging 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 appears 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 spectacle and paradox: an inexhaustible source of desire, but also a symbol of a power that slips away from and eludes hands.

The work is a digital painting on 350 g canvas; the faucet is iron, the drop is resin with an iron core.

Shipped insured. The package is carefully packed

The drop is shipped separately from the faucet, to be screwed onto the faucet (by hand), thus ensuring safer shipping.
The edition number shipped will be randomly chosen from the available ones.

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 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 in Geomancy 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 is a must-have among collectors of street art paintings and sculptures, pop art, contemporary art.

"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 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.
