This sculpture represents a bold and provocative interpretation of traditional mythology.
The artist seems to challenge the iconic conventions of the unicorn as a symbol of purity and magic, turning it into an icon of suffering and conflict. The use of rainbow colors to depict the wound creates a striking contrast between beauty and tragedy.
This sculpture can be interpreted in multiple ways: a reflection on the fragility of beauty, a depiction of the struggle for identity, or a critique of the violence hidden behind appearances. It is a work of art that surely evokes emotions and stimulates reflection, prompting viewers to consider the deeper meaning of beauty and suffering.
The sculpture is a limited edition of 100 pieces, each with color drips different from the others.
Each work is marked with an edition number, randomly selected among those available, making each piece part of its own limited edition.
Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist pursued studies in surveying and architecture, which led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture craftsman. There arose the growing 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 a staple among collectors of street art and pop art, as well as contemporary art sculptures.
"It is 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 reshape it into 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.
