Technique: Resin and marble powder Dimensions: H13 x L15 x D13 cm Condition: new Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed Edition: limited edition 100ex A simple, recognizable figure is transformed into something different. The teddy bear, a symbol of affection and protection, keeps its shape but loses its function: it is no longer something to touch or to live with lightly. The surface completely changes the perception of the work. What looks familiar from a distance becomes more distant, almost inaccessible up close. This creates a direct contrast between what we know and what we see. The artwork plays precisely on this tension: on one side it draws you in, on the other it keeps you at bay. In this way, an image tied to childhood is reread in a contemporary key, becoming something more complex and less reassuring. SHIPPING INSURANCE! The serial number might not match the one in the photo. Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist followed a path that, between studies in Geometrics and Architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture craftsman. There arose the strong need to find himself and unleash his creativity. His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe.

"It is never easy to classify one’s own art; I try to convey what my eyes see, my way of perceiving what surrounds me, and I reinterpret it with a design that suits modern times: impactful and memorable."
