Limited edition 1/8
This contemporary canvas arises from the meeting of one of the most celebrated symbols in art history with a contemporary visual language. Michelangelo's David head is reinterpreted and dragged out of its sculptural dimension, transforming into a presence suspended between matter, image and color.
The faucet becomes a true temporal portal: from it the sculpture seems to be sucked in and simultaneously returned in a new form. The matter and color that emerge represent the passage from classical art to a contemporary vision, in which a past icon is fragmented, transformed and reassembled.
The work thus reflects on the relationship between memory and transformation, showing how a masterpiece can continue to live even when removed from its original context and reinterpreted through a completely different language.
The fusion of the monumental David and the everyday, contemporary element of the faucet creates a deliberately disorienting contrast: art history is not simply cited, but seems to be literally dragged into the present and transformed into new creative matter.
Insured shipping. The package is carefully packed,
The drop is shipped separately from the faucet, to be screwed onto the faucet (by hand), to ensure safer shipping.
The canvas work 350 g/m2 is mounted on a wooden frame; the faucet is iron, the drop is resin with an iron core.
INSURED SHIPPING!
The package is carefully packed,
The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, placing just after 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 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 surveying and architecture studies, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. There emerged 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 paintings and sculptures 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 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.
