Through its simplicity, the artist invites us to reflect on the deeper meaning of everyday objects and the value we assign to things. The tap, a common fixture in our homes, suspended and connected to no water source, becomes a symbol of disconnection and a break with normality.

Instead of the usual drop of water, a precious stone emerges from the tap: an unexpected element that transforms an ordinary object into something extraordinary. The contrast between the tap’s original function and the preciousness of the material flowing from it creates a visual and conceptual dissonance, calling into question the relationship between utility, value, and desire.

The precious stone thus becomes a metaphor for something rare and unexpected that can emerge even in the most ordinary settings. The work invites viewers to look beyond the function of objects and rediscover the possibility of finding beauty, value, and new meanings in everyday life.

The work is designed to be wall-mounted using a special hook.

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 also includes names and brands associated with the worlds of collecting and design, such as Rolex, Lego, Louis Vuitton, Porsche, Eames, Macallan, Tintin, Cartier, and Pokémon.

Born in 1992 in Macerata, in the Marche region, the Italian artist embarked on a path that, through surveying and architecture studies, led him to collaborate with an artisan specializing in resin sculptures. It was through this experience that he developed an increasingly strong need to find his own artistic identity and give free rein to his creativity.

His works are sold all over the world, including through collaborations with galleries in Italy and across Europe.

His art is appreciated by collectors of street art, pop art, and contemporary art.

“It is never easy to classify your own art. I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of observing what surrounds me and reworking it through a design that fits well with modern times: striking and memorable.”
