Technique: Resin and marble powder Dimensions: H13 x L15 x P13 cm Condition: new Certificate of authenticity - hand-signed Edition: limited edition 100ex A simple and recognizable figure is transformed into something different. The teddy bear, a symbol of affection and protection, maintains its form 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 from afar seems familiar, up close becomes more distant, almost inaccessible. This creates a direct contrast between what we know and what we see. The work plays precisely on this tension: on the one hand it attracts, on the other it keeps at a distance. In this way, an image linked to childhood is reread in a contemporary key, becoming something more complex and less reassuring. SHIPPING INSURED!

Born in 1992 in Macerata, Marche, the Italian artist pursued a path that, between studies of Geometra and Architecture, led him to collaborate with an artisan sculptor in resin. There arose the growing need to find himself and give vent to his creativity. His works are sold worldwide, collaborating with galleries in Italy and Europe.

"It is never easy to categorize one's 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 well with modern times: impactful and memorable."
