An iconic work is struck by an egg, but it is not an act of blind destruction. The color exploding on the canvas is not chosen at random: it is the same as the inside of the egg, as if the essence of the gesture were transformed into paint.
In Desecrated, the artist performs a visceral yet lucid intervention, where apparent vandalism becomes a new language. It is a challenge to the passive respect of the image that is “untouchable,” but also a generative gesture: from the impact arises a new balance, a new tension between past and present.
It is profanation, yes, but sacred in its own way — because it transforms a primitive gesture into an aesthetic statement.

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately ranking 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 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 studies in surveying and architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. 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 street art paintings and sculptures, 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 perceiving what surrounds me, and I reinterpret it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
