Santicri Mixed media Dimensions: 30x20x2 cm Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed Limited edition x/8 In the upper part of the canvas, the surface appears burned, deformed, and marked by a transformation that seems to escape any control. The fire bursts into the work and becomes the protagonist of an unforeseen event, while the face depicted reacts to what is happening, watching it with astonishment and fear. The character is no longer a static presence within the composition, but seems to enter into a direct relationship with the transformation of the canvas. His gaze becomes an integral part of the work, creating a kind of dialogue between what is represented and what is actually happening to the surface. The work thus reflects on the fragility of matter and our need to maintain control. The fire represents the unforeseen, the event capable of breaking the equilibrium and altering what seemed stable and definitive. The canvas thus becomes a moment of tension suspended between fear and transformation: the character witnesses the destruction of his own reality, while the work itself seems to react and change before his eyes. What initially appears to be destruction thus becomes a creative process. The material changes, the image changes, and the meaning of the work evolves, turning the character's fear into an integral part of his new identity. SHIPPED INSURED!

His art is widely appreciated and is a must among collectors of street art paintings and sculptures, pop art, and contemporary art. "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 blends well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
