Santicri Mixed media, acrylic Dimensions: 70x50x20 cm Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed Unique Work This work fuses painting and object, transforming an immediate and recognizable image into a physical gesture suspended in time. The brushstroke, incorporated into the canvas, is not just a tool but becomes a concrete trace of the action, as if the creative gesture had remained frozen exactly at the moment it was occurring. The smile, a universal and immediately recognizable symbol, is reinterpretated through a broad and imperfect sign, crossed by drips and textural variations that alter its perception. Its expression is not necessarily tied to lightness or positivity, but can take on different meanings, allowing emotions, contrasts and ambiguity to emerge. The insertion of the brush breaks the two-dimensional surface and carries the work into a hybrid dimension, between painting and sculpture. The gesture, the material, and the object thus become part of the same composition, transforming a daily symbol into an open reflection on action, time, and the mutability of emotions.

His art is widely appreciated and cannot be missing among collectors of paintings and sculptures of street art, pop art, and contemporary art.
