Technique: RESIN and marble powder
Dimensions: H17x W10x D10cm
Condition: new
Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed
Edition: Balenciaga
The sculpture is a provocative artistic expression. This work seems to challenge traditional conventions and expectations of art, blending ancient and modern elements in a surprising context.
The choice to depict a Spinario, a subject typical of classical art, in such an unusual and contemporary context suggests a reflection on our current culture and our relationship with the past. The use of Balenciaga shoes and the scene of removing poop can be interpreted as a pointed critique of consumerism and the obsession with luxury in the modern world.
The work seems intended to provoke a reaction from the audience, raising questions about its symbolism and deeper meaning. Ultimately, this contemporary sculpture appears to offer a bold commentary on contemporary society, its obsession with consumption, and its relationship with history and tradition.

In 2024, the artist established himself as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, ranking just behind 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, in the Marche region, the Italian artist followed a path that, through studies in surveying and architecture, led him to work with a craftsman who made resin sculptures. There, a growing need to find himself and give free rein to his creativity was born.
His works are sold all over the world, and he collaborates with galleries in Italy and Europe.
His art is widely appreciated and is a must-have for collectors of street art, pop art, and contemporary art paintings and sculptures.
"It's never easy to classify your own art. I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and rework it with a design that fits the modern era: impactful and memorable."
