Technique: Resin and marble powder Measurements: H13 x L15 x P13 cm Condition: new Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed Edition: limited edition 100ex A simple, recognizable figure is transformed into something different. The little bear, a symbol of affection and protection, retains its form but loses its function: it is no longer something to touch or to experience lightly. The surface completely changes the perception of the work. What from afar seems familiar becomes distant up close, almost inaccessible. Thus a direct contrast is created between what we know and what we see. The piece plays precisely on this tension: on one hand it attracts, on the other it keeps at a distance. In this way, an image linked to childhood is reinterpreted in a contemporary key, becoming something more complex and less reassuring. SHIPPING INSURED! The serial number may not match the one in the photo. Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist pursued a path that, between study as a Geometer and Architecture, led him to collaborate with an artisan who makes resin sculptures. There arose the increasingly strong need to find himself and unleash his creativity. His works are sold all over the world, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe.

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