Santicri - Snapshot, Smile #7

Santicri has participated in numerous internationally renowned art exhibitions. Among the most significant, in 2022 he exhibited his works at the prestigious Palazzo Grillo of Genoa, and in 2023 he was present at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York, thus expanding his visibility in both national and international contexts. 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 placed among the top three most searched names on the Catawiki platform, a further sign of the growing appreciation for his work. These recognitions highlight his extraordinary talent and the increasing visibility of Santicri in the contemporary art panorama. 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 brush, incorporated into the canvas, is not merely a tool but a living trace of the action, as if the mark had stopped exactly at the moment it was happening. The smiling face, universal icon of lightness and communication, is reinterpreted through a broad and imperfect sign, crossed by drips that erode its apparent simplicity. The smile remains, but becomes laden with ambiguity: between spontaneity and construction, between immediacy and something that eludes control. The insertion of the brush breaks the two-dimensional surface and moves the work into a hybrid dimension, between painting and sculpture. From this emerges a reflection on gesture as a real act, on matter as a trace of time, and on emotion as something visible but never completely stable. SHIPPING INSURED! The package is carefully packed. The canvas is shipped already mounted on a wooden frame; the frame is not included. The artist established himself in 2024 as one of the most sought-after names on Catawiki, right after icons such as 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 of a surveyor and architecture, led him to collaborate with a resin sculpture craftsman. There, the growing need to find himself and unleash his creativity was born. 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 and sculpture, pop art, contemporary art. "It is never easy to classify one’s own 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 modern times: impactful and memorable."
