Santicri was recognized among the Best-Selling Artists of 2024 by Artmayeur, one of the most renowned platforms in the art world. In the same year, he was also listed among the top three most searched names on the Catawiki platform, another sign of the growing appreciation for his work. These recognitions highlight the extraordinary talent and the ever-increasing visibility of Santicri in the contemporary art scene. Santicri Mixed media Dimensions: 90x50x15 cm Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed Limited edition x/8 This work stage a pungent reflection on the value and power of money. The repetition of one-dollar bills, deformed into a fluid motion that converges toward a point, evokes the idea of flow, as if it were a stream of energy. The choice to integrate a real faucet, from which the money itself seems to gush, amplifies the conceptual dimension: money as a liquid, manipulable resource, and at the same time illusory. In this way, the artist does not merely represent money, but stages it as spectacle and paradox: an inexhaustible source of desire, but also a symbol of a power that slips away from hands. The artwork is a digital painting on 350 g canvas, the faucet is iron, the droplet resin with an iron core, it is shipped already mounted on a wooden frame, frame not included. Shipped insured. The package is carefully packed The droplet is shipped separately from the faucet, to be screwed onto the faucet (by hand). This is to ensure a safer shipment. The edition number shipped will be chosen randomly from those available. The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, immediately 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. A talent recognized not only for creative value but also as one of the most promising investments of the year. Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist pursued a path that, between studies in Surveying and Architecture, led him to collaborate with an artisan of resin sculptures. There arose the ever-stronger 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 cannot be missing among collectors of street art, pop art, and contemporary art paintings and sculptures. "It is never easy to classify one’s art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of perceiving what surrounds me, and I rework it with a design that fits well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
