Santicri - Revelation from Chaos, La Grande Onda di Kanagawa (No Reserve)

Santicri has participated in numerous major art exhibitions of international significance.

In Revelation from Chaos, Santicri carries forward the generative tension that animated Creation from Chaos, but takes it beyond gesture and matter, toward the revelation of the image.

The initial action—the golden eggs thrown onto the canvas—remains the foundational symbol: an impulsive, unpredictable, vital act. But here, the explosion of chaos gives rise not merely to the abstract form of color; the memory of art itself emerges. From the fragments, amid the cracks in the paint and the flakes of gold, the face of an icon from art history appears—as if the past were being evoked by its collision with the present.

The work thus becomes a metaphor for contemporary creation: painting not as construction, but as revelation. From disorder emerges what already existed in potential—the archetypal image, the cultural reference, the collective unconscious of beauty.

The fragments of gold take on a dual meaning: remnants of the original material (the shell), but also a symbol of the sacred, of the light that passes through the destruction of form. It is as if Santicri were saying that art today can only be born by breaking itself, revealing itself through fracture.

The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most-searched 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 year’s most promising investments.

Born in 1992 in Macerata, in the Marche region, the Italian artist followed a path that took him from studies in surveying and architecture to collaborating with a resin sculpture artisan. There, the increasingly strong need to find himself and give free rein to his creativity took root.
His works are sold all over the world, and he collaborates with galleries in Italy and across 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 looking at what surrounds me, and rework it through a design that fits well with modern times: striking and memorable.”
