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, transforming it into an icon of suffering and conflict. The use of rainbow colors to represent the wound creates an extraordinary contrast between beauty and tragedy.

This sculpture can be interpreted in many ways: as a reflection on the fragility of beauty, a representation of the struggle for identity, or a critique of the violence hidden behind appearances. It is a work of art that undoubtedly evokes emotions and stimulates reflection, encouraging viewers to consider the deeper meaning of beauty and suffering.
The sculpture is a limited edition of 100 pieces, each with different color variations.

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. Recognized not only for his 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 pursued a career that, through studies in surveying and architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture artisan. There, he developed a growing need to find himself and unleash his creativity.
His works are sold all over the world, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe.
His art is widely appreciated and is a must-have among collectors of paintings and sculptures in street art, pop art, and contemporary art.
"It's never easy to classify one's art. I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of seeing what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
